Nanotubes Asbestos Health Risks

Let's not put asbestos like fibers in everything please: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/carbon-nanotube-d...

Aren't nanotubes weren't as carinogenically toxic as asbestos?

Weren't these nanotubes the new asbestos?

Don't forget asbestos, which despite all the hubbub never got banned. It's used in all kinds of stuff and just one or two microfibers of it in your lungs and your fate of a slow painful death is sealed.

I think it's still reasonable to fear some ambient level of this stuff could do us harm over time despite being marketed as 'harmless'. See: asbestos.

As I understand it, this is how asbestos causes cancer. So I too would worry about objects this small, even if chemically inert.

I thought their talc was contaminated with asbestos?

Sounds great. I hope when pieces of it fall of the surface they won't have similar effec on human as asbesthos.

>> Did we ever categorically prove that nanotubes aren’t the next asbestos?I'm pretty sure we know they are the next asbestos. So we won't do things with them that tend to produce a bunch of dust for people to inhale.

This material reminds me of asbestos in many ways. Would there be any health problems with repeated exposure to billions of tiny fibres like this?
