| With the reaching of the particle size to the nano level, new physical and chemical characteristic appear in substance and this is the cause of the attraction of nano-material in various fields. Nowadays silver nano-particles are considered as one of the most attractive topics in modern engineering in such a way that scientific article about this subject and its application in industries, medical science and agriculture and in other field of study is increasing rapidly every day. Despite the various applications of nano-materials, few studies on their effects on environment, humans and animals are reachable. Numerous sectors of influence of nano-silver in today's world reflect the importance of the positive aspects of nano-silver in everyday life. However, study on its safety and the awareness of its toxicity for environmental protection and the health of the community seems essential. Because, these studies set some binding rules for the producers, distributers and consumers and by considering its environmental aspects and its standards application in each field it is possible to eliminate the destructive effects of nano-silver. |
