Are There Existing Regulations for Nanotechnology?
Yes, several countries have implemented regulations for nanotechnology. For example, the European Union has specific regulations under the REACH Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals), which includes provisions for nanomaterials. Similarly, the United States has guidelines under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). These regulations require manufacturers to provide data on the safety and environmental impact of nanomaterials.
