One of the critical components of public programs is the development of regulatory frameworks to ensure the safe use of nanotechnology. This includes:
- Safety Standards: Establishing guidelines for the safe production, handling, and disposal of nanomaterials. - Ethical Considerations: Addressing ethical issues such as privacy, equity, and potential environmental impacts. - Public Engagement: Programs often include efforts to educate the public about nanotechnology, addressing both its benefits and potential risks.
