What are the Challenges in Enforcing Nanotechnology Regulations?
There are several challenges:
1. Complexity of Nanomaterials: The unique characteristics of nanomaterials make it difficult to develop universal standards and testing methods. 2. Rapid Advancements: The fast pace of technological advancements often outstrips the ability of regulatory bodies to keep up. 3. Global Nature: Nanotechnology is a global field, requiring international cooperation and harmonization of standards. 4. Data Gaps: Limited long-term data on the health and environmental effects of nanomaterials makes risk assessment challenging.
