2. Impact of CNT on health
Although their chemical composition is different, CNTs are often compared to asbestos fibres because of their small diameter, long length and chemical stability in physiological environments, resulting in high biopersistence. . As a result, knowledge of the acute and chronic consequences for the organism of exposure to these particles is essential, given their intensive use in applications. The effects of CNT on mammalian health, and more specifically on human health, have been studied since the 2000s.
