How does nanotechnology face challenges in regulatory and safety aspects?
The regulatory landscape for nanotechnology is still evolving, and there are significant gaps in understanding the potential health and environmental impacts of nanomaterials. Establishing standardized protocols for testing and evaluating the safety of nanomaterials is essential. The toxicity and environmental impact of nanoparticles can vary widely, making it difficult to create universal guidelines. Public perception and acceptance also play a critical role in the deployment of nanotechnology-based products.
