Extensive investigations have been conducted to ensure that both nanoparticles of silver (AgNPs) as well as silver ions (Ag⁺) do not leach out and get inhaled by the patient.

Water vapor extraction test using saturated atmosphere (RH 99%).

After 4 days of water vapor extraction, the concentration of AgNPs and silver ions (Ag⁺) did not reach the detection limits (<0.1-10 ppm ) evaluated using ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES).

Product developed in partnership with Institute of Energy and Nuclear Research IPEN, inside SisNano’s NuclearNano/CNEN laboratory
