ponceau 4r and titanium dioxide suppliers

As China's production and consumption of talc and titanium dioxide continue to grow, the country has become an increasingly important player in the global market for these minerals. In addition to meeting domestic demand, China has also emerged as a major exporter of both talc and titanium dioxide, shipping large quantities of these minerals to countries around the world. This has helped to establish China as a key supplier of these essential minerals, further cementing its position as a global economic powerhouse.

  • In vitro, in the hemocytes of the marine mussel Mytilus hemocytes, suspension of TiO2 NPs (Degussa P25, 10 μg/ml) stimulated immune and inflammatory responses, such as lysozyme release, oxidative burst and nitric oxide production. Vevers and Jha demonstrated the intrinsic genotoxic and cytotoxic potential of TiO2 NPs on a fish-cell line derived from rainbow-trout gonadal tissue (RTG-2 cells) after 24 h of exposure to 50 μg/ml. Reeves et al. demonstrated a significant increase in the level of oxidative DNA damage in goldfish cells, and suggested that damage could not repaired by DNA repair mechanisms. Another suggestion from the mentioned study was that hydroxyl radicals are generated also in the absence of UV light. It has been shown that fish cells are generally more susceptible to toxic/oxidative injury than mammalian cells.
