Article Synopsis
- The rise in graphene family materials prompts concerns about their environmental impact and potential harm to ecosystems, particularly aquatic life where these materials might accumulate.
- This study investigates the genotoxic effects of graphene oxide (GO) on tadpoles, revealing that low concentrations can disrupt cell cycles and cause genetic damage due to oxidative stress.
- Thermal treatments can reduce GO's genotoxicity by altering its surface groups, suggesting that producing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is a viable approach to create safer materials for environmental use.
