Standardization efforts in nanotechnology focus on several key areas:
Terminology: Developing a consistent and universally accepted vocabulary for describing nanomaterials and their properties. Measurement and Characterization: Establishing methods and protocols for accurately measuring and characterizing the physical, chemical, and biological properties of nanomaterials. Health and Safety: Creating guidelines for the safe handling, use, and disposal of nanomaterials to protect human health and the environment. Performance Standards: Defining performance criteria and testing methods for nanotechnology products to ensure their reliability and efficacy. Environmental Impact: Assessing the potential environmental impact of nanomaterials and devising strategies to mitigate adverse effects.
