Oh Noes! My Nanotubes :(

[Spunky]

Nanotubes, one of the wonder materials of the new age of nanotechnology, may carry a health risk similar to that of asbestos, a wonder material of an earlier age that turned into a scourge after decades of use when its fibers were found to cause lung disease, researchers said Tuesday.

This time, the warning comes long before anyone has fallen ill, and experts say the findings call for caution, not alarm, in handling nanotubes, which are tiny, superstrong carbon fibers.

Holy crab? Fine fibrous materials can cause health risks if you breathe them in? Preposterous.

It's only dangerous is if powder your tennis racket handle or burn it then inhale.

Not shown to be toxic through ingestion or intake through blood. It only has been shown in inhalation, if you call one study definitive proof...
