regulatory gap

Why is Nanotechnology Challenging to Regulate?

Nanomaterials possess unique physical, chemical, and biological properties that differ significantly from their bulk counterparts. These novel properties can result in unpredictable interactions with biological systems and the environment. Traditional regulatory frameworks, which are typically based on the properties of bulk materials, are often not applicable to nanoscale materials. This discrepancy necessitates the development of specialized guidelines and safety assessments.
