In the search of environmentally safe nanomaterials, invention of novel ways to synthesize biodegradable agents is essential in the field of nanotechnology. As the world is in need of non-toxic alternatives, it is vital to develop products by green synthesis for nanotechnology. As a developing field of science nanoscience can assume increased employment in medicine and related healthcare sectors. Essential development of such methods has been done gradually in the past decade. By-products of current nanomaterial methods like Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are hazardous to the environment and are difficult to dispose or recycle. The aim of this article is to review methods of Ag-NP synthesis and their applications. We have compared the efficiencies of these green synthesis methods with those involving chemical and mechanical principles. The critical factors affecting particle size, structure and economics of the technology are also reviewed. The environmental impact and its measurement indices forecasted by radical changes in nanoparticle synthesis are discussed with reference to reduction in universal toxic effects.
