I'm too lazy to actually source the original report but there was a discussion going on on NPR this afternoon saying that the nano technology in carbon fiber is almost identical to that of asbestos therefore when being cut/sanded/worked with it is theoretically just as dangerous as inhaling asbestos and is likely a huge cancer risk. so anyone choping/sanding/mutilating anything carbon fiber you may want to invest in a high end respirator since even normal dust masks will do little to stop the nano particles from entering your lungs.

anyone else here about this?
