titanium dioxide for paint factories

In 2017, French researchers from the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRAE) were among the first to examine the effects of E171 nanoparticles on the body. They fed rats a dose of 10mg of E171 per kilogram of body weight per day, which was similar to human exposure in food. The research, which was published in Scientific Reports, showed that E171 was able to traverse the intestinal barrier, pass into the bloodstream, and reach other areas of the body in rats. Researchers also found a link between immune system disorders and the absorption of titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

In recent years, the manufacturing industry has come under scrutiny for its environmental impact. The production process of titanium dioxide is no exception. Traditional methods often involve energy-intensive procedures and the use of chemicals that can pose risks to both human health and the environment. As awareness grows about these issues, manufacturers are compelled to reevaluate their processes and adopt more eco-friendly techniques.
