What are the regulatory frameworks in place for nanotechnology?
Several regulatory bodies oversee the safe use and development of nanotechnology. In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have specific guidelines and regulations for nanomaterials. Internationally, organizations like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provide standards for nanotechnology. These frameworks are designed to ensure that nanotechnology products are safe for both humans and the environment.
