RE: Graphene Clothing Hits The Market In China
I sell foot related products and one of the top covers we use is silver infused neoprene. Been using it for years. I think silver is safe even inside the body.
Yeah it might be, who knows if there really is silver nanoparticles there in the first place. Not much regulation there.
Many of the interactions between AgNPs and the human body are very poorly understood. AgNPs are generally regarded as quite safe around the human body but we do not know about long term issues. While they may be safe around humans, they have been known to wash out of clothing items very quickly and end up in the water supply. The effects and bioremediation are unknown.
AgNPs can be toxic to wildlife and introducing them into the environment should be done with caution.
