Towards reliable risk assessment for nanomaterials: evaluating the ecotoxicology of graphene oxide
Nanomaterials such as graphene oxide (GO) have potential for a myriad of
industrial applications due to their physical, chemical, mechanical and
structural properties. However, due to these unique attributes, assessing the
toxicity of GO -- necessary to meet relevant regulatory requirements -- remains
challenging. A study now seeks a robust, reliable methodology for evaluating the
ecotoxicity of GO, using an alga (Raphidocelis subcapitata) and a shrimp species
(Paratya australiensis) to evaluate exposure risk.
