Listen Closely: That’s the Sound of Thousands of Mesothelioma Lawyers Rubbing Their Hands Together

Carbon nanotubes are apparently the new asbestos. According to a study overseen by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, carbon nanotubes not only look like asbestos fibers, but behave like them as well. And, just like asbestos fibers, they can cause mesothelioma, a cancer which occurs in the lining of the lungs.. At least in some mice injected with them.
