Reviewed by Lexie CornerNanomaterials are materials with at least one dimension smaller than 100 nanometres (about 100,000 times thinner than a human hair). Because of their tiny size, they have unique properties that can be useful in many industries.1However, without proper regulation, nanomaterials could pose risks to human health and the environment. A clear and consistent set of global rules is needed to manage these risks while supporting innovation and safe development.
