How Is Nanotechnology Regulated to Protect the Environment?
Regulation of nanotechnology varies globally, but many countries are developing frameworks to address the potential risks. For instance, the European Union has implemented the REACH regulation, which requires the registration and evaluation of chemicals, including nanoparticles. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees the regulation of nanomaterials under existing legislation such as the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
