What Risks Are Associated With Nanotube Exposure?
Currently, scientists and researchers assure the public that there is no immediate cause for concern related to nanotube exposure. The risk of developing pleural mesothelioma is greatest if the tiny carbon-based fibers of nanotubes are inhaled, much like the risk associated with inhalation of asbestos. However, those who handle nanotubes in the manufacturing and testing phases are at risk if they do not utilize appropriate breathing apparatuses and other necessary equipment.
