“… 76 Studies have shown that coated and modified nanoparticles do not lose their original characteristics; however, by modifying the surface of the nanoparticles, the inherent toxicity of the nanoparticles could be reduced, and the biocompatibility of the nanoparticles could be improved at the same time. 77 , 78 The surface functionalization may enable further applications of nano silver in various fields.…”

Nano silver is one of the most widely used engineering nanomaterials with antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. However, the widespread application of nano silver preparations in daily life raises concerns about public health. Although several review articles have described the toxicity of nano silver to specific major organs, an updated comprehensive review that clearly and systematically outlines the harmful effects of nano silver is lacking. This review begins with the routes of exposure to nano silver and its distribution in vivo. The toxic reactions are then discussed on three levels, from the organ to the cellular and subcellular levels. This review also provides new insights on adjusting the toxicity of nano silver by changing their size and surface functionalization and their combination with other materials to form a composite formulation. Finally, future development, challenges, and research directions are discussed.

“…Bacteria can survive in an air environment for several hours or even months, such as the Tuberculosis bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, which will increase the risk of infection and disease. Silver nanomaterial has been one of the biggest nanotechnology successes since 1980 [1]. It can be applied in some medical fields, such as histopathological changes of organs (lungs, liver, kidney, and brain) using Agcoat nanosilver or biomedical applications on infection and inflammation [2], [3].…”

Background: One of the crucial methods for lowering hospital infections is air disinfection. Because the airborne contagion environment is difficult to control, the development of effective air disinfectants is critical to maintaining a safe air environment and preventing respiratory infections. At the Hospital of Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, nanosilver and hydroperoxide Ag+ are two different kinds of airborne infection control, so an analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with objectives: to compare the disinfection efficacy of two solutions, nanosilver and 5% Hydroperoxide - 0.005% Ag+, and to assess the efficacy of the silver nano solution and 5% Hydroperoxide - 0.005% Ag+ solution in disinfecting hospital air. Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 156 air microbiological samples in 13 wards at the Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital using Koch's dust deposition method based on the principle of allowing dust to settle on the surface of nutrient agar boxes for a certain period. Data analysis using SPSS 26.0 software. Results: After disinfecting the rooms with nanosilver, the air quality was good in 69.23% of cases and pretty in 30.07%. With 5% Hydroperoxide - 0.005% Ag+, the number of rooms with good air quality was 15.39%, with pretty air was 69.23, and with poor air was 15.39%. Nanosilver can eradicate the fungus from Sabouraud Agar medium, and the density after disinfection was lower than before; the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Moreover, on Macconkey Agar and Blood Agar medium, bacterial density after disinfecting by nanosilver was decreased; the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Nanosilver reduced the bacterial density in 4 types of rooms better than 5% Hydroperoxide - 0.005% Ag+ solution. However, the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Nanosilver can be used to disinfect the hospital air as an alternative to 5% Hydroperoxide - 0.005% Ag+. Nanosilver disinfects well on gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Additional methods for improving the antifungal impact of nanosilver are required.

“…In most cases, optimization of Pd-based alloys (such as alloying Pd with Ni, Co, Cu, Au, and Ag) and construction of novel metallic nanostructures have greatly enhanced their specific physical and chemical properties. [5][6][7][8] It is reported that Pd electronic characteristics can be tailored by the alloyed metals and the nanostructures morphologies. 9 The Pd electron regulation can not only optimize its binding energies to the reactive species and intermediates, but also improve its catalytic activity and stability.…”
