Regulation: Agencies like the FDA and EPA have guidelines for the safe use of nanomaterials. These regulations often require thorough testing and documentation of potential risks. Standardization: Organizations such as ISO and ASTM International are working to develop standardized methods for testing the safety and efficacy of nanomaterials. Risk Assessment: Comprehensive risk assessments, including hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization, are conducted to understand the potential risks associated with nanomaterials. Best Practices: Implementing best practices in manufacturing, handling, and disposal of nanomaterials to minimize exposure and environmental impact.
