How Can We Mitigate the Risks Associated with Nanomaterials?
To mitigate the risks, it is crucial to adopt a precautionary approach and implement strategies such as:
Regulation and policy: Developing stringent regulations and guidelines to ensure the safe use and disposal of nanomaterials. Green nanotechnology: Designing environmentally benign nanomaterials and processes that minimize ecological impact. Risk assessment: Conducting comprehensive risk assessments to evaluate the potential hazards and exposure pathways of nanomaterials. Public awareness: Educating stakeholders, including industries and consumers, about the safe handling and use of nanomaterials.
