Standardized guidelines in nanotechnology are crucial for several reasons:
Safety: Working at the nanoscale introduces unique challenges and potential health risks. Guidelines ensure that researchers and workers handle nanomaterials safely. Consistency: Standardized protocols provide a benchmark for consistency and reproducibility in nanotechnology research and applications. Regulation: Governments and regulatory bodies use standardized guidelines to develop policies that protect public health and the environment. Collaboration: Common standards facilitate international collaboration and the sharing of data and findings.
