everything causes cancer... I stopped caring about this stuff a while ago..

As long as it isn't friable, it shouldn't matter. I deal with asbestos every day and as long as it is properly handled and maintained it's fine.

Agreed Nvalhalla, but many people ignore the warnings, think its a hassle to deal with the safety percautions, or are just plain ignorant about asbestos and what it can do. At the very least...they need warning lables if this is true.

I have to agree with sacre on this issue. Meat causes cancer, vegetables cause cancer, milk causes cancer..... I stopped caring a LONG time ago, because it seems that nearly EVERYTHING increases your cancer risk, even things that you need in order to survive, like food and even WATER.

They don't need to put warning labels on these carbon nanotubes, unless they are prone to breaking up and becoming airbone. EVEN THEN, they should only put a warning label on it if LARGE amounts of these carbon nanotubes are known to become airborne from something.

And then nanotube using devices will be used to help treat the "victims" of nanotube "poisoning" while their lawyers buy high end electronics containing the offending material, nanotubes.

Looks like I picked a bad week to quit smoking nanotubes. Or do you have to mainline them to be at risk?
