“…In general, we can find Ag NPs everywhere, where antibacterial effect is required (Cleveland et al, 2012). Therefore a logical application of Ag NP modified/ based materials is in medical practice.…”

Commercially manufactured nanomaterials are used massively for modification of products of everyday use, including products intended for children. Therefore their potential risks have to be ultimately studied. Aside from toxicity of nanomaterials with known specific parameters, the end-consumer is potentially endangered by materials with unknown specification. Commercially available products are not usually accompanied by parameter/specification sheet providing the consumer with sufficient chemico-physical parameters allowing the evaluation of possible toxic effects. The aim of this work was to evaluate the declared parameters of commercially available TiO2 and Ag NPs employing chemico-physical methods and consequently in vitro cytotoxicity and genotoxicity tests performed on non-cancer cell lines. Based on the results of our complex study we can conclude that the data provided by the producers are not in good agreement with the performed measurements. Furthermore, all tested NPs penetrated into the SVK14 cells and all NPs had significant effect on the kinetics of ROS production in all cell lines (note: the ROS production has not been established as the major mechanism of cell damage elicited by Ag NPs). The study revealed greater cytotoxic potential of Ag NPs in comparison with TiO2 NPs and all of the studied NPs caused significant DNA damage.

“…If discharged into the natural water system, it may cause serious negative effects on aquatic organisms. To further evaluate the leaching and environmental fate of AgNPs from consumer products, AgNP solutions, a silver coated antimicrobial wound dressing and a toy bear with AgNPs contained in its foam stuffing were subjected to a pilot estuarine mesocosm system over a period of 60 days [137]. About 82-99 % of their total silver was released into the water column and then taken up by estuarine biota or adsorbed by sediment, sand, and biofilm.…”

“…73,74 Due to the ability to measure trace levels of elements in a solution, ICP-MS has been widely used in environmental studies in attempts to measure, for example, the amount of silver nanomaterials released in environmentally relevant conditions. 75 It has also been used as a quality control verification for the purity of CNTs after removal of any residual catalysts. 76 …”
