Recent trends in silver nanoparticles toxicity, health effects and biomedical applications

Abstract

The development of novel biomedical applications has pushed the design of nanomaterials to the forefront of systematic investigation. Recent trends in the literature reveal, in fact, an absence of comprehensive reviews that highlight present understanding of nanomaterials' design and production. Nanoparticle performance can be affected by alterations in their size, shape, surface charge, and microstructure (NPs). It is discovered that the synthesis technique plays a role in the determination of these parameters as well. Here, we show how silver nanoparticles are already being used in Health sciences and discuss their future potential. Nanoparticles present new difficulties in terms of health risks, and the costs of various platforms are compared. The biological method is a technique that is eco-friendly to the environment, cost-effective, dependable, and consistent, as well as efficient and simplistic. Here, we present the antimicrobial properties of metallic nanoparticles, like silver, in the context of the health industry.
