Several steps can be taken to address the lack of universal standards in nanotechnology:
International Collaboration: Efforts should be made to promote international collaboration among researchers, regulatory bodies, and industry stakeholders to develop cohesive standards. Adaptive Standards: Developing standards that are flexible and can be updated as the field evolves will help address the rapid pace of innovation. Comprehensive Research: More research is needed to understand the unique properties of nanomaterials and their implications for safety and efficacy. Public Awareness: Raising awareness about the importance of standards in nanotechnology can help garner support from policymakers and the general public.
