The possible ecological toxicity of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) was evaluated based on germination and growth characteristics of Pinus sylvestris and Alnus subcordata. Seeds were exposed to different concentrations of AgNP in soil (0, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 100 mg/kg) and aqueous suspension (0, 10 and 2...
