How are Regulatory Agencies Addressing These Challenges?
1. Research and Development Regulatory agencies are investing in research and development to better understand the properties and effects of nanomaterials. Collaborative efforts between academia, industry, and government are essential for advancing this knowledge.
2. Guidelines and Standards Agencies are working on developing specific guidelines and standards for the production, use, and disposal of nanomaterials. These guidelines aim to ensure consistency and safety across various applications.
3. Public Engagement Engaging the public and stakeholders through consultations and forums is crucial for transparent decision-making. This approach helps in addressing public concerns and building trust in nanotechnology.
