Key Functions: Textile Applications
Silver is an EPA registered active ingredient in numerous pesticide products, including antimicrobial treated textiles. NSF recently performed a GreenScreen™ assessment to characterize the hazards of inorganic, low solubility nanosilver in textiles. In the present report, NSF performs a GreenScreen™ assessment on conventional (low-solubility, non-nano) silver for comparison.
