The environmental impact of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) has become a topic of interest recently, this is due to the fact that AgNPs have been included in numerous consumer products including textiles, medical products, domestic appliances, food containers, cosmetics, paints and nano-functionalised plastics. The production, use and disposal of these AgNP containing products are potential routes for environmental exposure. These concerns have led to a number of studies investigating the release of particles from nano-functionalised products, the detection of the particles in the aquatic environment and the potential environmental toxicology of these AgNPs to aquatic organisms. The overall aim of this review is to examine methods for the capture and detection of AgNPs, potential toxicity and transmission routes in the aquatic environment.
银纳米粒子（AgNP）的环境影响最近成为一个关注的话题，这是因为 AgNPs 已经被包含在众多消费品中，包括纺织品、医疗产品、家用电器、食品容器、化妆品、油漆和纳米功能塑料。这些含 AgNP 的产品的生产、使用和处置是潜在的环境暴露途径。这些担忧导致了许多研究调查纳米功能产品中颗粒的释放、在水生环境中颗粒的检测以及这些 AgNPs 对水生生物的潜在环境毒理学。本综述的总体目标是检查捕获和检测 AgNPs 的方法、水生环境中的潜在毒性和传输途径。
