What Challenges Exist in the Context of REACH and Nanotechnology?
Several challenges complicate the application of REACH to nanomaterials:
Characterization: The diverse nature of nanomaterials makes consistent characterization difficult. Risk Assessment: Traditional risk assessment approaches may not be fully applicable to nanomaterials. Data Gaps: There are often significant gaps in the data available on the health and environmental impacts of nanomaterials. Regulatory Clarity: The evolving nature of nanotechnology requires continuous updates to regulatory guidelines.
