Nanotechnology and FDA Regulation

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that has the potential to be used in a broad array of FDA-regulated products, including medical products, foods and cosmetics. Nanomaterials, developed using nanotechnology, are measured in nanometers, — equal to about one-billionth of a meter — so small that they can’t be seen with a regu­lar microscope. These nanomaterials…
