Resumen

Graphene, as well as the great ensemble of related structures (graphene related nanomaterials, GFN) exhibit unique electronic, mechanical, thermal and optical properties. Thus, they have attracted a great interest in fields like engineering or biomedicine. Given their wide current and prospective application spectrum, there is an increasing risk of a releasing of GFN into the environment. This could lead to a human and ecosystem exposure whose potentially harmful effects are still not well known. Consequently, further research in order to learn about the toxicity and to perform adequate risk assessments of GFN is of prime importance. ln this chapter, some of the assays to measure the toxicity of GFN in the eukaryotic model organism Sacchammyces cerevisiae will be presented.
