What measures are being taken to mitigate these side effects?
To mitigate the side effects of nanotechnology, scientists and regulatory bodies are working on establishing safety guidelines and standards. This includes extensive toxicity testing of nanoparticles, developing safer-by-design approaches, and improving our understanding of how nanoparticles interact with biological systems and the environment. Regulatory frameworks are also being updated to ensure that the benefits of nanotechnology are realized without compromising human health and environmental safety.
