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.
