So much FUD in this thread. Nobody actually has cancer from working with nanoparticles. Researchers have been making carbon nanotubes for years and none of them

- tbrownaw 13y agoThere probably wouldn't be. I doubt they could be much worse than asbestos or cigarette smoke or coal dust, which on a couple minutes' research looks like it would be hard to notice anything until there's been a large group with many years of continuous exposure. (OTOH, being "nano" means they're new and unknown and so increases the scariness factor a bit.)
