Evidence: Well-supported at overview level
Flagship-era tallies of patents and products need primary-source checks. Energy storage, composites, sensors, EMI/thermal remain the sales deck. Occupational guidance tightens (banding, workplace studies) — see 2026-09-16-niosh-graphene-exposure.
2021 is also when the GO-in-vaccine / 5G cluster takes the form still logged on conspiracies and log. Real nanosafety papers and fringe overlays travel in the same news cycle. Keep them split.
