I found this article somewhat thought provoking, Mesothelioma and the Potential Costs of Nanotechnology. Whatever you believe to be science or risk, about mesothelioma, nanotechnology, or nanotubes, the article raises the possibility of repeating the history of asbestos mesothelioma. More specifically, the highlights for me are:

• Billions of dollars in potential litigation costs, much like that of asbestos litigation, are hidden from nanotechnology investors due to weak regulations governing disclosures and liabilities
• Many feel the litigation and health risks surrounding asbestos exposure and malignant mesothelioma cases may be repeated with the widespread use of nanotechnology in consumer products
• Many companies producing nanotechnology have failed to disclose to investors whether the nanotubes they are making are in the dangerous form (carbon nanotubes) and if there is a potential liability for future side effects of exposure to nanomaterials

I want to be an informed investor and consumer. I need to be able to make my own decisions about my health, and need to know if the products I choose are potentially putting my personal health at risk. 'nuff said.
