What Are the Challenges in Achieving Regulatory Harmonization?
Despite its importance, achieving regulatory harmonization in nanotechnology faces several challenges:
Scientific Uncertainty: The rapid pace of nanotechnology advancements makes it difficult to establish universal safety standards. Different Regulatory Approaches: Variations in national regulatory frameworks and priorities can hinder harmonization efforts. Resource Constraints: Developing countries may lack the resources to implement and enforce harmonized regulations. Data Sharing: Sharing sensitive data across borders can be challenging due to privacy and intellectual property concerns.
