The European Union is actively working to address these challenges through various initiatives:
ECHA Guidance: The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) provides specific guidance on how to comply with REACH for nanomaterials, including recommendations for testing and risk assessment. Research Funding: The EU funds extensive research programs to better understand the properties and impacts of nanomaterials. Projects like NanoSafety Cluster aim to fill knowledge gaps and develop standardized testing methods. Collaboration: The EU collaborates with international organizations, such as the OECD, to harmonize regulations and share best practices globally.
