| Abstract | ||
| Nanotechnology has gained significant attention due to its extensive applications in biomedical, industrial, and environmental sectors. However, the increasing use of nanoparticles has raised concerns regarding their potential toxicity, uptake mechanisms, and long-term effects on terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Chemically synthesized nanoparticles pose additional risks, contributing to environmental pollution and toxicity in living systems. To mitigate these issues, researchers have explored biological synthesis methods using plant extracts, biological wastes, and microorganisms. While these methods offer eco-friendly alternatives, they suffer from limitations such as seasonal availability, variability in composition, low reproducibility, and contamination risks, which hinder their large-scale applicability. Therefore, the present study introduces a novel approach for synthesizing stable and well-dispersed silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using animal blood serum as a biological medium. This innovative method offers several advantages, including enhanced stability, controlled synthesis, reduced environmental impact, and the potential for large-scale production. By utilizing an underexplored biological source, this study aims to contribute to the advancement of sustainable nanotechnology while addressing concerns related to nanoparticle toxicity and environmental safety. The findings of this research highlight the potential of animal-derived biological materials in green nanoparticle synthesis, paving the way for environmentally responsible and efficient fabrication methods. | ||
