  Carbon nanotubes are capable of causing asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma, which is very rarely caused by anything except asbestos exposure.

  Talc is probably one of the more dangerous substances to inhale. Not only is it often contaminated with Asbestos, it might have some asbestos like properties of its own.

    It’s not just inhaling - perineal exposure seems to be bad too and had been associated with increased endometrial cancer risk in some groups. Perineal BMW exposure seems less likely. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2866017/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2866017/
