What challenges exist in applying OECD Test Guidelines to Nanotechnology?
One of the primary challenges is the complexity and diversity of nanomaterials. Unlike traditional chemicals, nanomaterials can vary significantly in terms of size, shape, surface characteristics, and composition, making it difficult to apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Additionally, the lack of standardized nomenclature and measurement techniques can complicate the testing process. Continuous efforts are needed to refine and adapt the guidelines to address these unique challenges.
