How Does the OECD Address Public and Environmental Health?
The health and environmental safety of nanomaterials are of paramount concern to the OECD. Through its programs, the organization conducts extensive research on the toxicology and ecotoxicology of nanomaterials. The OECD also evaluates the lifecycle of nanomaterials, from production to disposal, to identify potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate them. By addressing these concerns, the OECD aims to protect public health and the environment from any adverse effects of nanotechnology.
