Why is CLP Regulation Important in Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of materials at the nanoscale, often leading to novel properties and behaviors that are not present in their bulk counterparts. These materials, known as nanomaterials, can pose unique risks to human health and the environment due to their small size and high reactivity. The CLP Regulation helps to ensure that the potential hazards of nanomaterials are properly assessed and communicated, thereby promoting safe handling and use.
