How can we ensure the safe development and use of nanomaterials?
To ensure the safe development and use of nanomaterials, it is critical to establish comprehensive regulatory frameworks. This includes rigorous testing for toxicity and environmental impact, clear guidelines for handling and disposal, and continuous monitoring of nanomaterials in the environment. Collaboration between researchers, industry, and government agencies is essential to develop these guidelines and keep them up-to-date with the latest scientific discoveries.
