Abstract
Nowadays, two important fields in carbon nanomaterials are growing with amazing celerity. Both fields are related with life. On the one hand, it is standing-out the use of nanocarbons for cancer studies. On the other hand the concern about water contamination has contributed to the development of toxic material sensors, among which the nanostructured carbon materials have been highlighted. In the present contribution a state of the art of these two important scientific areas is showed. Also, two relevant contributions were our group has participated are discussed, namely cytotoxicity induced by carbon nanotubes in experimental malignant glioma [1] and carbon nanotube sponges as electrochemical sensors [2].
