Overview

• The study, a collaboration between the Universities of Edinburgh and Manchester, marks the first controlled human exposure to graphene oxide.
• Volunteers showed no adverse effects on lung function, blood pressure, or cardiovascular health after inhaling the material.
• Researchers observed a minor change in blood clotting, but emphasized its insignificance.
• Further research is needed to assess the effects of longer exposure and different forms of graphene.
• The findings could lead to the development of new medical treatments and devices, with minimal risk to human health.
