How Do Governments Ensure the Safety of Nanotechnology?
Governments establish regulatory frameworks to ensure the safety of nanotechnology applications. These frameworks often involve multiple agencies and are designed to assess the potential risks associated with nanomaterials. For example, the [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)](href) and the [Food and Drug Administration (FDA)](href) have specific guidelines for evaluating the safety of nanomaterials in products ranging from cosmetics to medical devices.
