Abstract: Properties of nanoparticles are significantly different from their bulk counterparts, including their biological and toxic activity. The properties of silver nanoparticles governing their toxicological effects are summarized. These basic characteristics can be used as descriptors for modelling the toxic properties of nanoparticles.

Keywords: nanotoxicity, silver nanoparticles, QSAR.
