How Does ASTM Contribute to Safety in Nanotechnology?
Safety is a paramount concern in the development and application of nanotechnologies. ASTM contributes to safety by developing standards that address the toxicological testing of nanomaterials, guidelines for their safe handling and disposal, and methods for assessing their potential impact on human health and the environment. These standards help mitigate risks associated with nanomaterials and ensure their safe use in various applications.
