- Benchmark: Benchmark 1
- Assessed: 2014-06-29
Used primarily in and Textile Applications applications, Silver, nanoscale is specifically used in and 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.
