Can Carbon Nanotubes really cause Mesothelioma?
By Jesse Herman | August 12th 2008 11:23 AM | 6 comments | Print | E-mail | Track Comments

The easy answer to whether or not Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) can cause mesothelioma similiar to asbestos exposure is a quick "maybe."

The truth is there have been some studies that have shown that the longer, thin nanotubes can cause lesions and scars in the lungs of throats, similiar to what happens from asbestos exposure. With other types of CNTs, no such affect is applicable.
