There is a bit of misunderstanding in the concept of green nanotechnology.

One of the claims of green Nanotechnology is that some microorganisms,as well as plants can help disintegrate nanoparticles / convert them to other forms......

There is another claim that silver ion could acts as pesticide, killing microorganism.

How do we interprete this. Does silver ion nanoparticles also kill bacteria that are responsible for disintegration of other nanoparticles?

How do we get rid of 'toxic silver ion nanoparticles' from the environment?
