Are there regulatory frameworks addressing the safety of nanotechnology?
Currently, regulatory frameworks for nanotechnology are still evolving. While some countries have introduced guidelines and regulations to address the safety of nanomaterials, there is no global consensus. Organizations such as the European Union and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have taken initial steps toward regulating nanomaterials, but the rapidly advancing field of nanotechnology often outpaces regulatory developments. There is a pressing need for international collaboration to establish comprehensive and harmonized safety standards.
