What is the toxicity of elemental carbon?
Assuming 100% purity of the carbon, how much would it take to kill someone through oral consumption? What about through injection?

Probably about as much as it takes to kill someone by eating straight up coal. Which, I don't know if there's any historical data for. I hope not.

a large cylinder of carbon could choke you
>>
>>9110066
Coal is mostly carbon, but also contains significant amounts of sulfur and traces of other, more potent toxins like mercury and arsenic. I assume those would kill you long before pure carbon would.
>>
>>9110060
the atom itself obviously doesn't have adverse effects, but when built up into structures like nanotubes or graphene, it tends to cause a lot of damage to cells.
>>
>>9110060
Carbon has virtually no toxicity, death from ingesting too much carbon would occur from it blocking up your innards, not from any innate toxicity.
