What are the Existing International Laws Governing Nanotechnology?
Currently, there are no specific international laws that exclusively govern nanotechnology. Instead, existing regulations in areas such as environmental protection, health and safety, and trade are adapted to cover nanotechnological applications. For example, the European Union has incorporated nanomaterials into its REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation, while the United States uses the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) to regulate nanoscale materials.
