Nanographene oxide (nGO) has been recently proposed as a new antitumoral therapeutic
agent, drug delivery carrier and gene transfection vehicle, among others. Treatment is
carried out by hyperthermia induced by infrared irradiation. After treatment, the nanosystems
will be inevitably excreted and released to the environment. To understand the potential
impacts of pegylated nGO (nGO-PEG), three key species from different trophic levels were
used: the green micro-algae Raphidocelis subcapitata (growth inhibition test), the cladocera …
