I think there can be at least some point to at least reservations towards
nanotechnology in consumer goods as it is known today - mostly some nano-particle 
based water-repealing coatings on cloth. The very reason why asbestos was outlawed is 
that its long
nano (!) fibers were causing cancer, apparently by physically interfering with 
chromosome
formation during cell division. It makes me thinking that other fiber-like 
nano-particles
might do the same, and it is cautions to believe so until proven otherwise in clinical
trials.
