r902 titanium dioxide

For research published in 2022 study in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, scientists examined “the genotoxicity and the intracellular reactive oxygen species induction by physiologically relevant concentrations of three different TiO2 nanomaterials in Caco-2 and HT29-MTX-E12 intestinal cells, while considering the potential influence of the digestion process in the NMs’ physiochemical characteristics.” They found a “DNA-damaging effect dependent on the nanomaterial,” along with the micronucleus assay suggesting “effects on chromosomal integrity, an indicator of cancer risk, in the HT29-MTX-E12 cells, for all the tested TiO2 nanomaterials.” Researchers concluded that the results showcase “evidence of concern” regarding titanium dioxide used as a food additive.

One of the key products offered by internal wall coating suppliers is damp-proof coatings. Damp can be a serious issue in buildings, leading to a range of problems such as mold growth and structural damage. Damp-proof coatings provide a barrier against moisture, preventing it from seeping into the walls and causing damage. These coatings are essential for maintaining the integrity of the building and ensuring the health and safety of its occupants.
