The evaluation of acute toxicity of colloidal silver nanoparticles

Abstract

Nanoparticles (NP) are defined as materials produced at a nanoscale range of 1–100 nm in length or diameter that demonstrate unique new properties. Over the past few decades, nanomaterials have had a great impact and gained enormous attention in medicine due to their potential. Although the applications and benefits of silver nanoparticles are extensively and currently being widely used in medical sectors, there is still limited information concerning human health and their impacts on it.
