Are there regulatory frameworks in place to manage these risks?
Currently, the regulatory frameworks for nanotechnology are still evolving. While some countries have begun to implement specific guidelines and regulations for the use of nanomaterials, many others rely on existing chemical safety laws, which may not be adequate for addressing the unique properties of nanoparticles. Organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) are actively working to develop more comprehensive regulatory approaches. However, global harmonization of these regulations remains a challenge.
