AgNPs induce generation of ROS in AgNP-treated L 132 and A549 cells. Fluorescence images of A549 (A) and L132 (B) cells without silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) (0) and cells treated with AgNPs 30 μg/mL and incubated at different time points. The image shows significant formation of hydrogen peroxide inside the A549 cells, whereas weak fluorescence was observed in L132 cells.
