Environmental agencies encounter several challenges in regulating nanotechnology:
1. Lack of Standardization: There is a lack of standardized methods for testing the safety and efficacy of nanomaterials. 2. Rapid Technological Advancements: The fast pace of innovation in nanotechnology often outstrips the ability of regulatory frameworks to keep up. 3. Data Gaps: There is limited data on the long-term environmental and health impacts of many nanomaterials.
