Abstract

Incredible rapid growth in the uses and applications of Silver (Ag) nanoparticles increases human exposure and the risk of these nanoparticles. Despite the contradictory results obtained on Ag nanoparticles induced toxicity, the genotoxicity and carcinogenicity induced by Ag nanoparticles have been shown in numerous studies. Therefore, the in vivo genotoxicity and carcinogenicity of daily used Ag nanoparticles were reviewed in this study.
