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.

Despite the various factors that can influence the cost of titanium dioxide, suppliers strive to provide a consistent and reliable supply of this important material to their customers. By investing in research and development, suppliers can improve their production processes and find more cost-effective ways to produce titanium dioxide. This can help to stabilize the cost of titanium dioxide and ensure a steady supply for customers in the future.

The vitaminC@P25TiO2NPs, on the other side, did not have any effect on cell protection against ROS. This might be due to the fact that vitamin C, a well-known scavenger of ROS, could behave as prooxidant and even promote ROS and lipid peroxidation [39]. It was recently described that at small concentrations of vitamin C, the prooxidant effects dominate; while in large concentrations the antioxidant ones predominate [40]. The effect also depends on the cell state and the interaction of vitamin C with light. In this case, ascorbic acid may act as an antenna to harvest visible light when conjugated to P25TiO2NPs. Indeed, it was previously found that this combination (in some ratios) could have an improved photocatalytic activity, possibly due to a red shift in its light absorbance [41]. Further studies on vitaminC@P25TiO2NPs were not conducted, because of the poor antioxidant capacity [42].

In addition to cost savings, wholesalers also provide paint companies with access to a wide range of titanium dioxide grades and formulations. Different grades of titanium dioxide are used in paints depending on the desired opacity, brightness, and durability of the final product. Wholesalers can help paint companies select the right grade of titanium dioxide for their specific application, ensuring optimal performance and quality
