AbstractNanotechnology allows for the development of new types of materials containing antimicrobial properties. Nanocomposite-based products are increasingly applied in medicine, industry and everyday life. Antibacterial features allow the use of nanoproducts in filters for water and air purification, textiles, food packages, medical materials and devices, ceramics, glass, plastics, paints, cosmetics and personal care products. Numerous studies concern the synthesis of novel antimicrobial nanoproducts as well as modification of already existing nanomaterials in order to supply them with antibacterial activity. However, some problems related to the potential emission of nanocomponents into the environment can appear and should be considered.
