How does the lack of standardized definitions and measurement techniques affect regulation?
One of the major hurdles is the absence of standardized definitions and measurement techniques. Different regions and organizations may have varying definitions of what constitutes a nanomaterial. Moreover, measuring and characterizing nanomaterials consistently is challenging due to their tiny size and complex behaviors. This lack of standardization can lead to inconsistencies in regulation, making it difficult to enforce safety and compliance uniformly across different jurisdictions.
