Abstract	Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in consumer products, medicine, electronics, and environmental remediation due to their antimicrobial properties and versatile applications. While they offer significant benefits, their widespread use and environmental release raise concerns regarding their potential impact on ecological sustainability. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge regarding the effects of silver nanoparticles on ecosystems and proposes future research directions to better understand their ecological consequences. It discusses the potential risks to soil, water, and aquatic systems, as well as the long-term implications for biodiversity and ecosystem health.
