Given the potential risks, there is a growing need for regulatory frameworks to manage the environmental impact of nanomaterials. Regulatory bodies worldwide are working towards guidelines and standards to ensure the safe use of nanotechnology. This involves: - Risk assessment protocols: Development of methods to assess the environmental risks of nanoparticles. - Legislation: Implementation of laws to control the release and disposal of nanomaterials. - Public awareness: Educating stakeholders about the potential risks and safe practices associated with nanotechnology.
