How Are Safety Standards and Regulations Developed?
Developing safety standards and regulations for nanomaterials involves collaboration between scientists, regulatory bodies, and industry stakeholders. Guidelines are established based on extensive research and toxicological data to ensure the safe use of nanomaterials in various applications. Agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) play a pivotal role in regulating nanotechnology products.
