America Must Regulate Nanotechnology

The US needs to regulate the definition of nanotechnology. The occurrence of behavior such as chemical reaction and state change. At the nanometer level, the law of quantum mechanics took over, familiar ones in New York pushed Newtonian mechanics aside. Nanotechnology affects everything that exists and may change it because the way of work has changed fundamentally.

Discussions on the health and safety risks of nanotechnology in human health are increasing, so further regulation of nanotechnology is required. There is a big controversy over who is in charge of nanotechnology regulation. Among the regulators today, covering many nanotechnology products and processes (to varying degrees) by incorporating existing regulations into nanotechnology - there is a big gap in these systems. Davis (2008) proposes a regulatory road map explaining the steps to address these drawbacks.

There is considerable controversy over whether nanotechnology or nanotechnology products deserve special government regulations. In this discussion, before the new substance enters the market, the community, the environment, the necessity of new substances and appropriate evaluation are done. Regulators such as the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Food and Drug Administration or the Health Consumer Protection Agency of the European Commission are beginning to address the potential risks posed by nanoparticles. So far, engineering nanoparticles or products and materials containing them are not subject to any special regulations concerning manufacture, handling, or labeling. The chemical safety data sheet that must be published for a specific material does not distinguish between the volume of the material in question and the nanoscale dimension. Even so, these MSDSs are for reference only.

Whether nanotechnology deserves special government regulations is a matter of controversy. Regulators such as the US Environmental Protection Agency and the European Commission's Health and Consumer Protection Agency are beginning to address the potential risks of nanoparticles. The organic food industry is the first company to adopt artificial organic products to eliminate artificial nanoparticles in Australia and the UK, recently in Canada, and all certified by Demeter International Standards.
