Cars appear to produce carbon nanotube-like fibers, and some of the evidence has been found in human lungs. Researchers have detected the presence of such fibers in cells extracted from the airways of children. Similar nanotubes were also found in the exhaust of cars. Given that the fibers were present in all of the (few) samples examined, the general population might be exposed, too. However, exposure was not quantified in the course of the study, and no conclusions can be drawn with regard to potential effects. Read more
