Abstract

The pharmaceutical industry has achieved significant gains through nanotechnology. Nowadays, due to the use of nanotechnology, there are thousands of nano-products on the market for human use, but there is still little information about health hazards and health data or toxicity profiles. In many countries, especially Iran, due to the uncertainty in existing policies and regulations, no action has been taken to provide a specific pattern for nanotechnology process products, especially in the packaging industry.
