Carbon is an element with diverse properties. Depending on its' physical structure, it forms compounds like graphite, which is soft and used as a lubricant, or diamond, which is hard.
Carbon can be used as an insulator or as a conductor. Electrical current can be conducted down a carbon fiber rod, especially when wet. The electrical arc can 'jump' from a live wire down the rod. Theangler provides the ground and completes the circuit. If the current is strong enough, the angler can be electrocuted. One should also take similar precautions when fishing during an electrical storm.

I inhaled carbon fiber dust from a fishing rod when i was cutting the tip off of it is this once off exposure to carbon fiber dust from fishing rods dangerous long term for my health?
No u will be just fine however long term exposure to carbon fiber dust is really bad. I work in a factory where one machine cuts carbon fiber all day and ik its dangerous but if it was that bad we wouldn't do it.
Which is the strongest material for a fishing rod - is it glass fiber or carbon?
It's carbon
Is carbon fiber more harmful than fiberglass?
Carbon fibers are practically non-dangerous.

Which Is lighter carbon fiber or regular car matierial?
Carbon Fiber
Is carbon fiber and kevlar detected by metal detectors?
Carbon Fiber, yes.
Is carbon the same as carbon fiber?
Carbon is non metal as it does not have any metallic properties.
Why is carbon fiber so light?
Basically because Carbon is a relatively light element and carbon fiber is only made of carbon atoms
What cost more carbon fiber or steel?
carbon fiber costs more than steel
How many elements are in carbon fiber?
what are the elements of fiber
Can carbon fiber be made at home?
As far as carbon fiber composites go, yes, quite easily.
Can carbon fiber dent?
No
