Well I thought we had nanobots we could send on in there to clean up all of the rougue nanotubes?

interesting tell us more!

We are made of carbon so it might be good for the lungs...kinda like another form of stem cells.

Can't we just 3D print a new lung, using genome ink?

"Researchers studying the lungs of young Parisian asthma patients have found evidence that man-made carbon nanotubes are becoming a common air pollutant.
Carbon nanotubes are deliberately manufactured in several industries — their unique physical properties make them useful in electronics and nanotechnology, especially. But they can also be created accidentally, as a byproduct of catalytic converters in automobile engines.
***
No direct linkage is suggested between the nanotubes and asthma, but previous studies have questioned whether carbon nanotubes might act like asbestos, a known carcinogen.

"working with carbon nanotubes, we wear facemasks to prevent exactly what we’re seeing in these samples, yet everyone walking around out there in the world probably has at least a small concentration of carbon nanotubes in their lungs....â€"
(Asbestos fibers and carbon nanotubes look like microscopic pins. Asbestos fibers get caught inside the alveoli and eventually cause scarring, making the alveoli ineffective. Over time, and with too much exposure, the consequences can include asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.)
