What Regulations Are in Place to Control Nanotechnology Pollution?
Governments and international bodies are increasingly recognizing the need for regulations to manage the environmental impact of nanotechnology. Examples include:
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) in the European Union, which includes provisions for nanomaterials. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) guidelines in the United States, which are evolving to address nanoscale pollutants. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards for the safe handling and disposal of nanomaterials.
