Abstract
The paper presents the nanotechnology as a one of main fields of modern science. Since nanotechnology accompanies the everyday life, one should focus on its benefits and disadvantages. Some nanoparticles exhibit animicrobial properties and using them definitely improves the quality of life. Silver nanoparticles are used in many consumer products which serve as antibacterial or antifungal agents. However, due to the fact that the market of nanomaterials is constantly growing, most of living organisms may be exposed on nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles may be easily accumulated in various organs, such as liver, kidneys, lungs and others. Despite the fact that their activity may not be seen immediately, their impact on living matter may have negative consequences in the future. Hazard and responses issues are raised in the review.
