Abstract excerpt
The increasing medical and food applications of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) raise concerns about their safety, including the potential health consequences of human exposure. Previous studies found that AgNPs were negative in the Ames test due to both their microbicidal activity and the inability of nanoparticles to penetrate bacterial cell walls. Thus, the mutagenicity of AgNPs is still not completely clear,...
