What are the regulatory challenges associated with Nanotechnology?
The rapid development of nanotechnology has outpaced the establishment of comprehensive regulatory frameworks. Current regulations may not adequately address the unique properties and potential risks of nanomaterials. Regulatory agencies face challenges in risk assessment and management due to limited data on the environmental fate, transport, and toxicity of nanoparticles. There is a need for standardized testing methodologies and guidelines to ensure the safe development and use of nanotechnology.
