How Do These Bodies Ensure Safety in Nanotechnology?
Safety is one of the primary concerns for government bodies involved in nanotechnology. They ensure safety through:
- Research: Sponsoring studies to understand the health and environmental impacts of nanomaterials. - Regulations: Enforcing strict guidelines for the manufacture, usage, and disposal of nanomaterials. - Standards: Setting international standards that must be adhered to by industries and researchers. - Monitoring: Continuous monitoring and evaluation of nanotech products in the market.
