How Do Standards Address Environmental and Health Concerns?
Standards play a pivotal role in mitigating environmental and health risks associated with nanotechnology. For instance: 1. Environmental Impact: Standards like ISO/TR 12885 provide guidelines for the safe handling and disposal of nanomaterials to minimize environmental pollution. 2. Human Health: Standards ensure that nanomaterials used in consumer products, such as cosmetics and food packaging, do not pose health risks.
