Yep, Cystic Fibrosis is a helluva horrible way to die.
Your points are well taken and I do not challenge their veracity or scholarly merit, but are you really saying we should bring a known toxin such as Dihydrogen monoxide into this? (...Credit to Wreck)Clean up with wet wiping and vacuuming.

According to the various MSD sheets, toxicity of carbon fiber, either inhaled or orally ingested, is not known. Carbon by itself is rather inert. Inhaling large quantities over an extended period of time, as when mining coal, will cause black lung disease. As far as oral ingestion, carbon in the form of activated charcoal is uses extensively for removal of impurities from drinking water. I know that I have ingested my share in eating grilled brats, hamburgers, and steaks. I have also inhaled quite a bit of carbon in the form of soot from diesel engines and from smoldering campfire.
I would be more concerned with the epoxy binders use in the carbon fiber material.
Exactly. Which makes me wonder how long it will be before they start talking about the glass fibers used in fiberglass insulation.Its fascinating to me how the size and shape of the particles becomes more important than the chemical properties.
Apparently even the different crystalline shapes of asbestos have differing "toxicity."
