If past experience is anything to go by, regulators wont do antyhing until there is scientific proof that nanotubes cause cancer. Mesothelioma is not detectable until typically 15 years after exposure to asbestos. Add another 10 years of disputing and dithering by the governements of the world and we are talking 25 years before legislation.
If we have to wait 25 years of people being exposed until the government does anything about it, nanoptubes will be the biggest industrial killer of the 21st century as asbestos has been for the 20th century. Unless of course, insudtyry has the foresight to prevent future litigation by assuming the worst and putting effective controls in place now.
If you think the above view is over pessimistic, ceramic fibres and MDF are both believed to be linked to life threatening cinditrions but the Government is still happy for us to keep filling our homes with both.
