A major study has revealed some forms of carbon nanotubes are likely to pose health risks similar to asbestos. If inhaled in sufficient quantities, this stronger than steel, lighter than air technology can penetrate lungs and cause significant damage. The technology, being developed for use in new drugs, energy-efficient batteries and futuristic electronics, is made up of long, thin multi-walled carbon nanotubes that look like asbestos fibers, and act like asbestos fibers. It is likely that asbestos is the worst occupational health disaster in U.S. history and carbon nanotube technology could be right on its heels.
