Study Warns: Carbon Nanotubes Behave Like Asbestos, could Cause Mesothelioma Cancer
Abstract:
The scientific community is warning of the risk carbon nanotubes pose as a trigger for mesothelioma cancer, a disease the American medical establishment has failed to cure and continues to fear. While much attention is focused on this potential environmental hazard, medical professionals and scientists continue to ignore plant-based mesothelioma treatments that exist which could ease the suffering of cancer patients.
The substance which scientists are focusing on, carbon nanotubes, is thought to be a miracle material which is lighter than plastic and stronger than steel, and is currently being developed for use in everything from pharmaceutical drugs to high-tech electronics. However, a recent study appearing in Nature Nanotechnology suggests certain carbon nanotubes may be as dangerous as asbestos.
