Regulation of Antimicrobial Silver Nanoparticles

Russo Valentina

Due to its capacity to combat bacteria, fungus, and yeasts, nanosilver is one of the most well-known nanomaterials. These microorganisms cause material degradation, food and feed spoilage, nosocomial infections, and food poisoning. From a regulatory standpoint, we provide insights into antibacterial silver nanoparticles in the current review. The biocidal substance, silver ions, is released from silver nanoparticles. Because of this manner of action, regulators find it challenging to assess the risks associated with silver nanoparticles. The state of the art, toxicological effects, and risk assessment of nanosilver (as a silver ion releasing technique) are covered in this article. Last but not least, the advantages of incorporating silver nanoparticles in consumer goods are contrasted with the regulatory difficulties in bringing such products to market.
