Toxicity of GO

(Guo and Mei, 2014)
Graphene, graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide cause toxic effects to living cells. Low dosage
may be safe and serve as enhancers of cell proliferation. Its toxicological effects varies on sizes, shapes,
surfaces, and the fabrication.
For example, different production methods affect the amount of oxygen bound to the surface which can
be correlated with their toxicity towards cells and other living systems.
