Carbon Nanotubes Potentially Similar to Asbestos

According to the Associated Press story ”Carbon nanotubes mimic asbestos in early study” by Brian Bergstein (Associated Press, May 21, 2008), carbon nanotubes may be  dangerous to humans.  Carbon nanotubes are described as a new emerging “nanotechnology” using microscopic hollow  strands of graphite, which due to the composition and structure are able to  strengthen  materials and make them much lighter.  The technology may have applications in many commercial areas, such as, medicine, automobi
