What Are the Challenges in Implementing REACH for Nanotechnology?
The unique properties of nanomaterials present several challenges, such as:
Characterization: Accurate measurement of size, shape, surface area, and other properties is crucial yet difficult. Risk Assessment: Standard testing methods may not be suitable for nanomaterials, requiring the development of new protocols. Data Gaps: Limited information is available on the long-term effects of nanomaterials on human health and the environment.
