Safety in nanotechnology involves implementing measures to prevent potential risks to human health and the environment. This includes:
1. Risk Assessment and Management: Conducting thorough risk assessments to identify and mitigate hazards associated with nanoparticles.
2. Safe Design: Engineering nanomaterials to be inherently safer by avoiding toxic elements and designing them to minimize exposure.
3. Regulation and Guidelines: Establishing and adhering to regulatory frameworks and guidelines to ensure safe manufacturing, handling, and disposal of nanomaterials.
