Abstract

Carbon-based nanomaterials including graphene, carbon quantum dots, carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and fullerene have lately gathered much consideration due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. They are employed in various fields of energy storage devices, water remediation, sensors, fuel cells, biomedical area, and so on. Therefore, toxicity risks to human health and the environment are increasing due to the wide uses of carbon nanomaterials, meaning that assessment of the nanomaterials’ toxicity is essential. In this chapter, after a brief introduction to properties of different kinds of carbon nanomaterials, the effects of their surface chemistry, size, defects, metal impurities, etc. on the toxicity on biological cells are examined. Lastly, the mechanism of biodegradation of carbonaceous materials is discussed.
