Overall Conclusions AgNPs All attempts to reduce the toxicity with surface modifications were failed while the citrate reduced AgNPs synthesized through Lee and Meisel method were nontoxic. The few nanometers of AgNP seeds were the main source of toxicity in a AgNP colloidal suspension. Surface modification may increase lifetime of the AgNPs in the media by decreasing the dissolution of the AgNPs. ZnO NPs The initial characterization of the modified ZnO NPs suggests that all surface modifications are successful. Both polymers and BSA modifications hepled to decrease cellular toxicity according to pristine ZnO NPs. The most important outcome is the surface modifications must be performed in extremely diluted suspensions by using excess amount of modifier to cover the whole surface area of ZnO NPs. QDs It is necessary to coat the surface of QDs with a silica layer to prevent the Cd ion release into the medium. The strategy of glucose modification helped to reduce the cytotoxicity without altering the fluorescence properties of QDs.
