While that is some cause for minor concern, there are big gaps of information that need to be filled in. Before I could take a side, I would need to know the concentration of silver nano-particles that threatens plant life due to loss of nitrogen fixing bacteria, whether industrial use actually pushes the concentration above this limit in the surrounding environment (besides the products themselves), how often and widespread this contamination is in the natural environment, and what concentration did the researches actually use?
After all there are no poisonous substances, just poisonous doses. Even too much water can be poisonous for you.
