The determination of sulfate in various matrices is a critical task for environmental monitoring, industrial process control, and quality assurance in chemical production. When present in high concentrations, sulfates can pose health risks and impact the ecosystem. However, the analytical challenge often lies not just in detecting the presence of sulfates but also in accurately quantifying them, especially when they are to be determined as titanium dioxide (TiO2). This article delves into the methodologies used to determine sulfate as TiO2, highlighting the complexities and nuances involved in such an analysis.

In 2017, French researchers from the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRAE) were among the first to examine the effects of E171 nanoparticles on the body. They fed rats a dose of 10mg of E171 per kilogram of body weight per day, which was similar to human exposure in food. The research, which was published in Scientific Reports, showed that E171 was able to traverse the intestinal barrier, pass into the bloodstream, and reach other areas of the body in rats. Researchers also found a link between immune system disorders and the absorption of titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

One of the primary uses of titanium dioxide is as a pigment in cosmetics and personal care products. It provides a natural, white color to products such as foundations, powders, and lipsticks, making them look more appealing to users. Additionally, titanium dioxide has excellent UV protection properties, which help protect the skin from harmful sun rays. This makes it an essential ingredient in sunscreens and other skincare products.
