| Abstract | Graphene (GN) is widely used in various applications. Thus, it is at risk of being released into aquatic environments. However, its toxicity to aquatic organisms, especially chronic toxicity, has not become a serious concern. This study assessed the acute and chronic toxicity of GN to Daphnia magna by comparing the toxic effects of GN with those of three other typical carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), fullerene (C60), single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT), and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). Results indicated that GN promoted the growth and reproduction of daphnids at low concentrations, similar to the other three CNMs. This may be due to the adsorption of nutrient elements in the exposure medium by the CNMs with high surface areas, which increased the ingestion of nutrient elements by daphnids. At high concentrations, the four CNMs inhibited the growth and reproduction of the daphnids to different extents. The toxicity of GN was significantly higher than that of the other three CNMs, although GN bioaccumulation in D. magna was relatively lower. The special structure and substantial adsorption on the daphnids' surface may mainly explain the higher toxicity of GN to daphnids. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
