What are the Implications for Public Health Policy?
Epidemiological data plays a crucial role in shaping public health policies related to nanotechnology:
Regulation: Data helps in formulating regulations to limit harmful exposure levels and ensure safe handling of nanomaterials. Workplace Safety: Employers can develop better safety protocols to protect workers handling nanomaterials. Public Awareness: Educating the public about potential risks and safety measures associated with nanotechnology. Research Funding: Directing research funds towards studying the long-term health effects of nanomaterial exposure.
