Carbon nanotubes mimic asbestos in early study - Morning Call
BOSTON - Strong, versatile little "nanotubes" made out of carbon are considered future stars in nanotechnology research in medicine and industry. Now a study finds that longer threads of the stuff mimic the toxic qualities of asbestos, renewing

Carbon Nanotubes Could Be as Toxic as Asbestos - NewsFactor Network
Researchers hope to pressure companies developing carbon nanotube-based materials to reveal whether they are using longer strands such as the ones that appear to act like asbestos — which was once a wonder material, too, before its cancerous

In Study, Researchers Find Nanotubes May Pose Health Risks Similar to - New York Times
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

Nanotube Workers Could Face Same Risk as Asbestos - Top Tech News
Edinburgh, Scotland, researchers have found that nanotube strengtheners used in computers, auto bodies and electrical brushes could be as dangerous as asbestos. They said long nanotubes injected into mice caused a reaction that typically leads to the

Carbon Nanotubes May Cause Mesothelioma Cancer - eMaxHealth.com
A major study published in Nature Nanotechnology suggests some forms of carbon nanotubes — a poster child for the "nanotechnology revolution" — could be as harmful as asbestos if inhaled in sufficient quantities. The study used established methods
