Addressing the EHS implications of nanotechnology requires a multi-faceted approach. Research is crucial to understanding the long-term effects of nanomaterials on health and the environment. This includes toxicological studies and environmental impact assessments. Public policies must evolve to incorporate the latest scientific findings, and industries should adopt best practices for safe handling and disposal of nanomaterials. Public awareness and education are also essential to ensure that the benefits of nanotechnology are realized without compromising safety.
