- How do I prevent cancer when handling carbon nanotubes?
I did a quick google search and there some places that say carbon nanotubes can CAUSE cancer, and other places say that doctors use it to TREAT cancer.
Nanotubes cause cancer.
Nanotubes can treat cancer.
So what do I do? If I were to handle them or make them myself, what do I need to do to prevent myself from getting cancer from this?
I get the feeling that this is just like radiation therapy, where if you keep the dosage low and focused it can treat cancer, but being too large and unfocused can cause it. So what do I do? Do I just avoid ingesting it? Or do I need to have a breath mask?
