The potential environmental impacts of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have received increased attention over the last decades. While the benefits of the development and use of ENMs are numerous (e.g., improved medical diagnostics, energy saving, improved environmental monitoring and remediation), there is also a risk of environmental release and potential negative effects to biota. Due to the well-known antibacterial properties of silver, Ag ENMs are amongst the most frequently used ENMs on the market and can be found in, for example, medical applications (e.g., wound dressings, surface coatings of medical devices) and consumer products (e.g., cosmetics, cloths, cleaning agents, and food additives). Silver is known to be highly toxic to...
