Are Nanotubes the New Asbestos?

A new study has feel that C nanotube — if inhaled — could be as unsafe as asbestos . This is not only problematic for a time to come of semiconductor that would like to tap the technology , but the good already on the market now that utilize nanotubes in composite miscellany , like baseball game bats and lawn tennis fraudulent scheme .

To screen the nanotubes , one lab put in the material into human - lung - similar rat abdomen liner and see the area inflame after a week . So at this point we ’re fairly certain that inhaling nanotubes would be unfit news . What we are n’t certain about is whether or not nanotubes in their commercial form ( like baseball chiropteran ) could ever become breathable , or even airborne in the first place .

Further study is needed , but this is n’t the sort of word we want to find out about a very promising aspect of nanotechnology . [ undertaking On Emerging NanotechnologiesandSFGate ]
