Hazard Identification: Identify potential hazards associated with the nanomaterial, such as cytotoxicity, environmental persistence, and bioaccumulation. Exposure Assessment: Evaluate the likelihood and extent of exposure to the nanomaterial across its life cycle. Risk Characterization: Combine hazard and exposure data to characterize the potential risks. Risk Management: Develop strategies to mitigate identified risks, such as modifying the nanomaterial’s properties, using safer alternatives, or implementing containment measures.
