Impacts of Nanosilver-Based Textile Products Using a Life Cycle Assessment

Due to their properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in consumer products. The widespread use of these products leads the release such into environment, during manufacturing, use, and disposal stages. Currently there is a high margin uncertainty about impacts nano on environment human health. Therefore, different approaches including life cycle assessment (LCA) being evaluate environmental health In this paper, comparison between four AgNP synthesis methods was conducted. addition, textile that contain AgNPs were subjected using LCA analysis assess public SimaPro modeling platform. Study results indicate alternative (green) will not necessarily reduce synthesizing process. To best our knowledge, first study has compared assessed burdens associated with nanosilver-based at scenarios. 1 kg modified Tollens’ method resulted 580 CO2 eq, while 531 eq from chemical approach. Furthermore, manufacturing stage had highest overall as other processes product, product utilization stages ecotoxicity. Sensitivity revealed under two scenarios incineration landfilling, sensitive amount AgNPs.
