What are the Challenges in Risk Assessment for Nanotechnology?
Risk assessment for nanotechnology faces several challenges:
1. Lack of Standardization: There is a need for standardized methods to characterize and measure nanomaterials. 2. Complexity of Nanomaterials: The diverse nature of nanomaterials makes it difficult to generalize findings. 3. Limited Data: Insufficient data on long-term exposure and chronic effects. 4. Regulatory Gaps: Existing regulations may not be adequate to address the unique risks posed by nanomaterials.
