• Mechanisms of Silver Nanoparticle Release, Transformation and Toxicity: A Critical Review of Current Knowledge and Recommendations for Future Studies and Applications (2013, background): “As surface area is often considered as one of the main factors in nanoparticles toxicity [61], it is surprising that it is assessed only in a very few biological studies [79].”
• "Nanoantibiotics": a new paradigm for treating infectious diseases using nanomaterials in the antibiotics resistant era. (2011, background): “On the contrary, metallic silver appears to pose a minimal risk to health and Ag NPs are suggested to be non-toxic in some studies [81,82], but some studies reported concentration-dependent adverse effects of Ag NPs on the mitochondrial activity [83,84].”
• Potential of plant as a biological factory to synthesize gold and silver nanoparticles and their applications (2012, background): “Among various metal nanoparticles, toxicity of Ag nanoparticles has received the greatest attention due to the highest degree of commercialization of Ag nanoparticles incorporated products (Johnston et al. 2010).”
• Detection limits of DLS and UV-Vis spectroscopy in characterization of polydisperse nanoparticles colloids (2013, background): “It should be noted that depending on the concentration and size silver nanoparticles can be considered as nontoxic as well as toxic [8–10].”

• Silver nanoparticles: synthesis, properties, and therapeutic applications (2014, background): “Smaller particles have a larger surface area and, therefore, have greater toxic potential [19].”
• Mechanisms of Nanoparticle-Induced Oxidative Stress and Toxicity (2013, background): “Some of the paradigms for NP-mediated toxicity include oxidative stress, inflammation, genetic damage, and the inhibition of cell division and cell death [8–11].”
