The National Cancer Institute tested TiO₂ for possible carcinogenicity by the oral route of exposure by feeding rats and mice with TiO₂ (size not specified) at doses 25,000 or 50,000 ppm TiO₂ for 103 weeks. They concluded that TiO₂ was not carcinogenic.Also, the study with rats fed diets containing up to 5 % TiO₂ coated mica for 130 weeks showed no treatment-related carcinogenicity. Since the size and other TiO₂ properties were not specified or determined, we cannot generalize this conclusion and we have to take into account other possible outcomes of this scenario in different exposure conditions (other size/crystalline structure of TiO₂ etc.).

Moreover, sustainability is becoming increasingly important in manufacturing practices. Companies that prioritize environmentally-friendly processes and ethically sourced materials can enhance their brand image and meet the rising consumer demand for sustainable products. While cheap titanium dioxide manufacturers may offer lower prices, businesses should also evaluate their commitment to sustainable practices and social responsibility.
