Assessment of the safety of nanomaterials involves several key steps:
1. Characterization: Understanding the physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials is critical. Techniques such as electron microscopy and spectroscopy are commonly used. 2. Toxicological Studies: Conducting in vitro and in vivo studies to evaluate the potential toxic effects of nanoparticles on living organisms. 3. Exposure Assessment: Identifying the routes through which humans and the environment could be exposed to nanomaterials.
