BBC News - Graphene 'could pose health risk' to workers:
'via Blog this'
People involved in making a material used to enhance computer and phone touch screens could be at risk of lung damage, according to new research.
Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have been studying the behaviour of the so-called miracle material, graphene.
They say, when produced in a certain form, the ultra-thin carbon contains tiny particles known as nanoplatelets.
These can lodge in the lungs and may cause health problems, the study found.
Graphene, first identified in 2004, has been hailed a revolutionary material and heralded for its superconductive properties.
