Abstract

V originále

The production of graphene oxide (GO) along with its applications in various aquatic environments is vastly increasing thanks to its rapidly expanding range of new GO-based environmental technologies. Therefore, the fate of GO in aquatic environments is an important issue, as it could become an environmental challenge if its potential toxic mechanism is not addressed properly. Number of studies reporting the toxicity of GO to various aquatic organisms is still increasing. However, research data on the possible toxic mechanism of GO towards aquatic plants have yet to be collected, especially regarding GO's surface chemistry. Here, we studied the interaction of three differently oxidized GO systems with model aquatic plant Lemna minor. We found that although none of the three GOs caused lethal phytotoxicity to Lemna after 7 days, the mechanism of action was dependent on the GO's surface oxidation. Based on the amount of functional surface groups, the GO was able to directly interact with the Lemna's root through its edges. However, in this case in contrast to algae and crustaceans, the interaction did not lead to a mechanical damage. Therefore, our results showed that GO is not hazardous to Lemna minor even at very high concentrations (up to 25 mg/L), because the root barrier proved to be strong enough to prevent GO's penetration and its consequent toxicity.
