So much FUD in this thread. Nobody actually has cancer from working with nanoparticles. Researchers have been making carbon nanotubes for years and none of them have cancer.

There probably wouldn't be. I doubt they could be much worse than asbestos or cigarette smoke or coal dust, which on a couple minutes' research looks like it would be hard to notice anything until there's been a large group with many years of continuous exposure. (OTOH, being "nano" means they're new and unknown and so increases the scariness factor a bit.)
