The direct exposure of buildings and cultural heritage to the atmosphere has negative effects on the material properties due to physical and chemical weathering, but the biological agents catalyze disruption. Thus, association of organisms and microflora induces the biochemical and physical processes that develop biodeterioration of cultural heritage. Microbes become difficult to control without causing physical damage to the colonized materials. Currently, there are innovative and effective techniques in biological control which are environmental friendly. An alternative that offers many advantages is the application of silver nanoparticles produced from plant extracts. This paper widely discusses this option and shown the need of technological break through to face this problem.
