How is Nanotechnology Regulated in Different Regions?
Regulatory approaches to nanotechnology vary across different regions. In the European Union, nanomaterials are subject to rigorous testing and approval processes under REACH. The United States, on the other hand, adopts a case-by-case evaluation system under the TSCA. Japan focuses on voluntary industry standards, while China is developing a comprehensive regulatory framework that includes mandatory reporting of nanomaterial use in products.
