Hair dryers are marketed as emitting silver nanoparticles. Hair dryers were assessed with air-particle characterization techniques Silver was not detected. Bacteria were used in the Kirby-Bauer assay to simulate skin flora exposure to silver nanoparticles. This work hopes to provide information so that consumers can make more informed choices when purchasing products.
