    I mean just about any kind of rock dust will cause silicosis. Apparently graphite causes graphitosis. If it doesn’t cause cancer, it’ll still drastically reduce quality of life - it can be extremely painful.

    No idea about graphene though, but I’m glad that they are still performing safety studies on it. The material has a lot of extremely useful applications.
