tr 92 titanium dioxide factories

Prof. Maged Younes, Chair of EFSA’s expert Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), wrote of the decision: “Taking into account all available scientific studies and data, the Panel concluded that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive. A critical element in reaching this conclusion is that we could not exclude genotoxicity concerns after consumption of titanium dioxide particles. After oral ingestion, the absorption of titanium dioxide particles is low, however they can accumulate in the body.”

In conclusion, the anatase and rutile nano-TiO2 factory represents a microcosm of modern materials science, where cutting-edge technology, innovative chemistry, and meticulous engineering converge to produce high-value nanomaterials. As research continues to uncover new applications and improve upon existing methodologies, the future of these factories promises to be exciting and transformative, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in material synthesis and application.
