The rapid expansion in the production and application of carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) raises increasing concerns regarding their environmental fate and ecological safety. Herein, we present a systematic cross-trophic assessment of fourteen well-characterized 0D – 3D CNMs, including fullerene soot (FS), fullerene C60, amino-acid-derived carbon quantum dots (CQDs), single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs, MWCNTs), graphene (G1 and G3) materials, graphite (GR), and nanodiamonds (ND). Acute and chronic ecotoxicity was evaluated across three aquatic trophic levels representing producers (Lemna minor), consumers (Daphnia magna), and decomposers (Aliivibrio fischeri), following OECD and ISO guidelines. Toxic responses were strongly dependent on both trophic level and physicochemical properties of CNMs. D. magna exhibited the highest sensitivity, particularly toward long, carboxylated (oxidized) MWCNTs (MWCNT-COOH) (EC50(48 h) = 5.8 mg L-1), where toxicity was associated with exposure pathways and uptake mechanisms.
