More and more household products and cosmetics containing nanosilver may be found on store shelves. However, the impact of nanosilver has not been fully explored. An analysis of the Polish market of cosmetic products allows us to specify the sources (products) that nanosilver is coming from and the main areas of the environment that can be affected (water, soil, air). To determine this, scenarios for the environmental circulation of cosmetic products with nanosilver have been created. Next, elements of the environment that are potentially exposed to silver particles have been defined, as well as the products they come from. The areas for further research in this field have been also identified.(original abstract)
