▎ 摘  要

The increasing production and application of graphene oxide (GO, a popular carbon nanomaterial), makes their release into aqueous environment inevitably. The capability of GO to enhance the toxicity of background contaminants has been widely concerned. However, the effect of GO on heavy metal accumulation in fish embryos remains unclear. Here, we show that GO-promoted chromium (Cr) uptake by zebrafish embryos with multiple effects. The adsorption accelerated the aggregation and settlement of Cr-6(+) -adsorbed GO and decreased the Cr-6(+) concentration in the upper water, which enhanced the interaction of chorions and contaminants (Cr6+, GO and Cr6+-adsorbed GO). In the presence of GO, the Cr content in chorions and intra-chorion embryos was increased by four times and 57% respectively, compared to that of the single Cr6+ exposure. Furthermore, GO+Cr-6(+) increased the oxygen consumption rates, embryonic acid extrusion rates and ATP production, induced more serious oxidative stress, and disturbed amino add metabolism, fatty add metabolism and TCA cycle. These findings provide new insights into the effect of GO on heavy metal bioaccumulation and toxicity during embryogenesis. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
