What measures can be taken to mitigate health and environmental risks?
Several measures can be taken to mitigate the risks associated with nanotechnology. First, conducting extensive risk assessments and comprehensive toxicity studies can provide valuable data for developing safer nanomaterials. Second, implementing robust waste management practices can prevent environmental contamination. Third, developing and adhering to strict safety guidelines in workplaces where nanomaterials are used can protect workers from exposure. Finally, raising public awareness and fostering transparent communication between scientists, policymakers, and the public can help in making informed decisions about the use of nanotechnology.
