There are several key areas where harmonizing is crucial:
1. Terminology: Consistent definitions and nomenclature for nanomaterials and their properties. 2. Measurement Techniques: Standardized methods for characterizing nanoparticles, including size, shape, surface area, and reactivity. 3. Safety Protocols: Guidelines for handling nanomaterials, assessing toxicity, and mitigating risks to health and the environment. 4. Ethical Guidelines: Frameworks to ensure that nanotechnology is developed and used responsibly, addressing issues like privacy and equity.
