Silver nanoparticles forensic uses and toxicity on vital organs and different body systems

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the forensic uses and potential toxicity of silver nanoparticles on vital organs and different body systems. A systematic review methodology was used to identify and critically evaluate the literature on the forensic uses of silver nanoparticles in different fields and to assess their potential toxicity on various vital organs and body systems. The study found that silver nanoparticles have potential forensic uses, particularly in forensic biology and forensic toxicology, but there are concerns about their potential toxicity. The study recommends further research on the mechanisms of toxicity of silver nanoparticles and the development of safe and effective strategies for their use in forensic science. The study’s strengths include its systematic review methodology and use of multiple databases, while limitations include a limited time frame and focus on English language publications. Future research should focus on investigating the potential risks of silver nanoparticle exposure for forensic professionals.
