The 'edges' of GraphOx attract lead

In a satirical scenario where people even have GraphOx in their bodies (our bodies being largely made of water), does the graphox attract the lead and then help the body dispose of it or does it attract lead to the point all the lead in your body is collected and isolated into small areas of the body?




Here is a scholarly article suggesting graphene oxide is quickly expelled from the body

this suggests the graphene could attract lead in the body and then quickly be expelled from the body with the lead attached to it





But what if the body breaks down graphox to a digestible form?

Well there is a natural human enzyme that does exatly that. At least almost. It breaks graphene down (not graphene oxide) so the body can digest and easily expell it

In this study we see the body treats graphene oxide like a pathogen and sets 'traps' to catch the GO just like it would with some organic compounds.
