University Researcher Compares Carbon Nanotubes to Asbestos (video)

I found this YouTube video that helps me visualize how asbestos is physically similar to carbon nanotubes (CNT), Are Carbon Nanotubes the Next Asbestos? (video): Under a microscope, CNTs look identical to asbestos fibers, leading scientists to believe that they could cause similar health problems. In this video, North Carolina State University (NCSU) researcher, Dr. Jamie Bonner, shares his research on the potential toxicity of carbon nanotubes.
