I didn't know that graphene was toxic. I should stop licking my pencils. And from what little chemistry I know, I though graphene oxide was rather inert.

- krastanov 10y agoThe naive (very hand-wavy) explanation for the toxicity of graphene (nanotubes to be specific, not sheets in general) is not chemistry, rather the nanotubes physically rupturing cell organelles. Same with asbestos: small rigid particles that cut everything else in pieces.
