It discusses how new graphene-based materials can be creatively used for biological purposes, for example as delivery vehicles for diagnostics or therapeutics, ultrasensitive sensors, smart responsive substrates for artificial-tissue design and biomarkers. Moreover, it presents new insights into their use as sorbent or photocatalytic materials for environmental decontamination in water and gas-phase desalination membranes and as sensors for contaminant monitoring, giving relevance to the current discussions on the possible toxicological effects of graphene-based materials.Carbon Nanostructures,2191-3005NanotechnologyBiomedical engineeringEnvironmental chemistryWater qualityWater pollutionNanotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700XEnvironmental Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U15000Water Quality/Water Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/212000Nanotechnology.Biomedical engineering.Environmental chemistry.Water quality.Water pollution.Nanotechnology.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.Environmental Chemistry.Water Quality/Water Pollution.540Gonçalves Giledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMarques Paulaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtVila Mercedesedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155315903321Graphene-based Materials in Health and Environment2508523UNINA
