Nanotubes have enough space to place molecules inside of them, but
also, are small enough to pass through the cellular membrane and
deliver its content to the inner part of the cell, where it will mend the
disease and cure it “easier”. Nevertheless, the investigations
performed have not given results about what would be the long term
effects of carbon nanotubes inside the body. The only choice we have
is the application of the Precautionary Principle which is “to limit the
exposition to carbon nanotubes until further investigations give us
more information about its effects on human health”.
