dc.description.abstractGraphene oxide (GO) is a carbon nanomaterial used in electronics, biomedicine, environmental remediation and biotechnology. The production of graphene will increase in the upcoming years. The carbon nanoparticles (NPs) are released into the environment and accumulated in aquatic ecosystems. Information on the effects of GO in aquatic environments and its impact on organisms is still lacking. The aim of this study was to synthesise and characterise label-free GO with controlled lateral dimensions and thickness – small GO (sGO), large GO (lGO) and monolayer GO (mlGO) – and determine their impact on Chironomus riparius, a sentinel species in the freshwater ecosystem. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) was evaluated after exposures for 24 h and 96 h to 50, 500, and 3000 μg/L. GOs accumulated in the gut of C. riparius and disturbed its antioxidant metabolism. We suggest that all types of GO exposure can upregulate of SOD. Moreover, both lGO and mlGO treatments caused LPO damage in C. riparius in comparison to sGO, proving its favourable lateral size impact in this organism. Our results indicate that GOs could accumulate and induce significant oxidative stress on C. riparius. This work shows new information about the potential oxidative stress of these NMs in aquatic organisms.en
