From a technological point of view, nanocarbons are providing for
incredible new products from batteries to textiles. However, I've seen
nothing about their long term effects on the environment. What will
happen as more and more products containing nanocarbons end up in the
soils, rivers, and oceans?
They aren't a naturally occurring material so, I presume, there are no
natural ways for organisms to process them. Will they simply pass
through? Will they have effects like asbestos? Will they act more like
radioactive particles and affect DNA?
There seems to be scant research on this, or at least scant publicity.
Should our governments be more proactive in ensuring proper recycling or
destruction of no-longer wanted products containing nanocarbon?
