Abstract
â¢AgNPs are known for their biomedical appliances.â¢AgNPs have an impact on human and his environment.â¢The size, dose and route of exposure of AgNPs have to be monitored.
Nanotechnology offers numerous biomedical applications and in so doing, exerts toxic effects. AgNPs, one of the metallic nanoparticles is known for its antibacterial applications and hence exposed to human through various healthcare products. Analysis of its toxic effects is necessary before its appliance into the biomedical field. Hence, this mini-review focuses on toxic effects of AgNPs related to human and his environment in vitro and in vivo.
