Several regulatory bodies have established guidelines for nanotechnology safety:
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA): Provides guidelines for workplace safety concerning nanomaterials. - Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Regulates the environmental impact of nanomaterials and enforces guidelines for their safe disposal. - National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH): Conducts research and provides recommendations for handling nanomaterials in occupational settings.
