The lack of clear regulations and controls explains that P25TiO2NPs are still found in many of the commercialized sunscreens in the market. Some of them are coated to reduce the photoactivity of the anatase form, which is known to be responsible for tissue damage, but not enough studies were made on these coated forms. The anatase photoactivity could trigger the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, as it was stated before. The ROS are chemically reactive species containing oxygen, such as peroxides, superoxide, hydroxyl radical, and singlet oxygen. They are regularly produced in the biological milieu and counterbalanced by physiological antioxidant defense mechanisms. However, an abrupt increase of ROS may result in non-reversible damage to the skin cells. The effects of coated and uncoated P25TiO2NPs need therefore to be studied, and articles on this topic present different conclusions. [11][12][13] Recent literature on this topic found that TiO2NPs inhalation provokes serious genotoxicity and DNA damage [14][15][16][17]. On the other hand, some studies in rats have reported no significant harm to genetic material [18][19][20][21][22].

A third type of titanium dioxide is known as brookite
china
china types of tio2. Brookite titanium dioxide is less common than rutile and anatase, but it has some unique properties that make it desirable for certain applications. Brookite titanium dioxide has a high surface area, which makes it an excellent choice for use as a catalyst in chemical reactions. It is also being studied for use in solar cells due to its high energy conversion efficiency.
