What Challenges Exist in Implementing GHS for Nanomaterials?
Several challenges exist in implementing GHS for nanomaterials:
1. Lack of Standardized Testing Methods: Traditional testing methods may not be suitable for nanomaterials, and there is a need for standardized methods that can accurately assess their hazards. 2. Complexity of Nanomaterials: The diverse nature of nanomaterials, with varying shapes, sizes, and surface properties, makes it difficult to develop a one-size-fits-all approach to classification and labeling. 3. Regulatory Variability: Different countries may have varying regulations and guidelines for nanomaterials, complicating the implementation of a harmonized system.
