Nanotechnology - Carbon Nanotubes Can Be 'Like Asbestos' To Lungs
Discovered nearly 20 years ago, carbon nanotubes have been described as the wonder material of the 21st Century. Light as plastic and stronger that steel, they are being developed for use in new drugs, energy-efficient batteries and futuristic electronics.
A major study published today suggests some forms of carbon nanotubes, the poster children for the 'nanotechnology revolution', could be as harmful as asbestos if inhaled in sufficient quantities.Get Clipmarks - The easiest way to email text, images and videos you find on the web.
