apa kegunaan titanium dioxide suppliers

Titanium dioxide production is not without its environmental impacts. The traditional process involves mining rutile ore, which can lead to significant land disruption and potential pollution if not managed carefully. Moreover, the conversion of raw ore into usable TiO2 requires energy-intensive processes that contribute to carbon emissions. As such, consumers and manufacturers alike are increasingly seeking suppliers committed to sustainable practices.

For research published in 2022 study in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, scientists examined “the genotoxicity and the intracellular reactive oxygen species induction by physiologically relevant concentrations of three different TiO2 nanomaterials in Caco-2 and HT29-MTX-E12 intestinal cells, while considering the potential influence of the digestion process in the NMs’ physiochemical characteristics.” They found a “DNA-damaging effect dependent on the nanomaterial,” along with the micronucleus assay suggesting “effects on chromosomal integrity, an indicator of cancer risk, in the HT29-MTX-E12 cells, for all the tested TiO2 nanomaterials.” Researchers concluded that the results showcase “evidence of concern” regarding titanium dioxide used as a food additive.
