Factoring-in agglomeration of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers for better prediction of their toxicity versus asbestos

BACKGROUND: Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon nanofibers (CNF) are allotropes of carbon featuring fibrous morphology. The dimensions and high aspect ratio of CNT and CNF have prompted the comparison with naturally occurring asbestos fibers which are known to be extremely pathogenic. While the toxici...
