Gold and Silver Nanoparticles - An Assessment of the Risks Posed by Toxicity to Human Health and Environment in Modal Organisms
摘要
This review paper provides a comprehensive assessment of the risks posed by gold and silver nanoparticles to human health and the environment, with a specific focus on embryo toxicity. It explores the sources and synthesis methods of these nanoparticles, emphasizing potential environmental implications. The paper investigates the mechanisms of interaction with the human body, detailing pathways of exposure and absorption and examining adverse effects on embryonic development. Additionally, it addresses side effects of gold nanoparticles and proposes potential treatments, while also offering strategies to avoid embryo toxicity. The necessity of laws, policies and the creation of 19 safer nanomaterials is emphasized in the review’s conclusion in order to guarantee the ethical and advantageous usage of Au and Ag nanoparticles.
