titanox titanium dioxide manufacturers

In the pursuit of greener industrial practices, titanium dioxide (TiO2), commonly known as rutile, stands at the forefront of innovation. This versatile compound, often used in paints, sunscreens, and various other products, is now being manufactured with a keen eye on environmental impact. The best TiO2 factories are not only striving to reduce their carbon footprint but also aiming to provide eco-friendly prices that do not burden consumers or compromise quality.

No acute effects of nano-sized TiO2 were observed in Danio rerio (zebrafish) embryos. Exposure of rainbow trout to TiO2 NPs triggered lipid peroxidation, influence on the respiratory tract, disturbance in the metabolism of Cu and Zn, induction of intestinal erosion  and accumulation in kidney tissue. Linhua et al. exposed juvenile carp to 100 and 200 mg/ml of particles and TiO2 observed no mortality. However, the fish suffered from oxidative stress and pathological changes in gill and liver. In the infaunal species Arenicola marina, exposure to TiO2 NPs in sediment caused sub-lethal effects including decrease in casting rate and increase in cellular and DNA damage. Aggregated particles were visible in the lumen of the gut, but no uptake through the gut or the skin was observed.
