Supporting policies are crucial for several reasons:
Regulation and Safety: Nanomaterials can pose unique health and environmental risks. Policies ensure that these risks are adequately assessed and managed. Standardization: Policies can help develop standard protocols and measurements, essential for the commercialization and international trade of nanotechnology products. Funding and Research: Government policies can provide funding and incentives for research, fostering innovation and reducing the time required for new technologies to reach the market.
