The Study on the Graphene and its Health Effect | Chapter 11 | Research Trends and Challenges in Physical Science Vol. 5

 The goal is to look at the health implications of using graphene, which could be beneficial or harmful. This research will examine graphene risk information in order to identify potential environmental and health issues. It serves as a roadmap for future graphene risk research. The research will focus on graphene's emissions, environmental destiny, and toxicity. It reveals that graphene has a high toxicity, and that graphene emissions from electronic devices and composites may be feasible in the future. Graphene is known to be both persistent and hydrophobic. Although these findings suggest that graphene may have negative environmental and health implications, they also show that there are many risk-related knowledge gaps in the environment to be filled. Graphene can bind to the cell surface and harm the cell membrane physically and chemically. Graphene has been shown to interact with proteins and nucleic acids, causing structural and functional changes. However, graphene has the potential to replenish reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can destroy membranes, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Graphene's toxicity should be investigated further.
