Silver nanoparticles are nanoparticles of silver which are in the range of 1 and 100 nm in size. Silver nanoparticles
have unique properties which help in molecular diagnostics, in therapies, as well as in devices that are used in
several medical procedures. The major methods used for silver nanoparticle synthesis are the physical and chemical
methods. The problem with the chemical and physical methods is that the synthesis is expensive and can also
have toxic substances absorbed onto them. To overcome this, the biological method provides a feasible alternative.
The major biological systems involved in this are bacteria, fungi, and plant extracts. The major applications of silver
nanoparticles in the medical field include diagnostic applications and therapeutic applications. In most of the
therapeutic applications, it is the antimicrobial property that is being majorly explored, though the
anti-inflammatory property has its fair share of applications. Though silver nanoparticles are rampantly used in many
medical procedures and devices as well as in various biological fields, they have their drawbacks due to
nanotoxicity. This review provides a comprehensive view on the mechanism of action, production, applications in
the medical field, and the health and environmental concerns that are allegedly caused due to these nanoparticles.
The focus is on effective and efficient synthesis of silver nanoparticles while exploring their various prospective
applications besides trying to understand the current scenario in the debates on the toxicity concerns these
nanoparticles pose.
