To address these risks, researchers and regulatory bodies are working on developing guidelines and safety standards for the production, use, and disposal of nanoparticles. Key strategies include:
Risk Assessment: Conducting thorough risk assessments to evaluate the potential hazards and exposure levels associated with nanomaterials. Regulation: Implementing regulations to control the release of nanoparticles into the environment and ensure safe handling practices in laboratories and industries. Monitoring: Establishing monitoring systems to track the presence and concentration of nanoparticles in the environment and workplace. Public Awareness: Raising awareness about the potential risks and promoting safe practices among workers and the general public.
