Silver Nanoparticle Interactions with Surfactant-Based Household Surface Cleaners.

ABSTRACT: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are the most widely used engineered nanomaterials in consumer products, primarily due to their antimicrobial properties. This widespread usage has resulted in concerns regarding potential adverse environmental impacts and increased probability of human exposure. As the number of AgNP consumer products grows, the likelihood of interactions with other household materials increases. AgNP products have the potential to interact with household cleaning products in laundry, dishwashers, or during general use of all-purpose surface cleaners. This study has investigated the interaction between surfactant-based surface cleaning products and AgNPs of different sizes and with different capping agents. One AgNP consumer product, two laboratory-synthesized AgNPs, and ionic
