![]() Additionally, the stability of AgNPs in contact with the culture media throughout the analyzed period and conditions employed was evaluated in order to ensure their availability for the organisms tested. The non-observed-effect concentration (NOEC) was then calculated for each organism using a log-logistic function. In addition, some ecotoxicity data obtained from the literature were also used. ![]() In the present study, AgNPs sized at 82.8 nm were synthetized with an aim to assess their effect on some organisms including algae, plants, microcrustaceans, cnidaria, nematodes, aquatic insects, earthworms, and fish embryos. ![]() Studies on the ecotoxicological and environmental risks of AgNPs, then, are still a requirement. Although there is an increase in the evaluation of their potential environmental risks and toxicity, the data available on AgNP safety levels are limited. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) currently possess widespread applications in many products. ![]()
