What Measures Are in Place for Environmental Controls?
Several measures are employed to manage the environmental impact of nanotechnology:
Regulatory Frameworks: Governments and international bodies have established regulations and guidelines for the safe production and disposal of nanomaterials. Risk Assessment: Comprehensive risk assessments are conducted to evaluate the potential environmental and health impacts of nanomaterials. Monitoring and Surveillance: Continuous monitoring of nanomaterials in the environment helps in early detection of any adverse effects.
