On the Dangers of Ionic Silver and Silver Nano Particles
Extensive testing has been performed on nano silver and ionic silver. We do not sell these products because nano-products should not be composed of materials which are themselves toxic. The toxin effect is greater and the health and environmental damage unacceptable. Additionally recent research shows that silver ion coatings are not effective unless wet and at high temperature, which is not real world environment.
