Monitoring in nanotechnology involves: 1. Lab Testing: Regular testing of nanomaterials for toxicity, efficacy, and stability. 2. Environmental Monitoring: Assessing the impact of nanomaterials on air, water, and soil. 3. Industrial Monitoring: Ensuring that manufacturing processes comply with safety and quality standards. 4. Data Collection: Using sensors and other technologies to collect real-time data on the behavior of nanomaterials.
