The lack of clear regulations and controls explains that P25TiO2NPs are still found in many of the commercialized sunscreens in the market. Some of them are coated to reduce the photoactivity of the anatase form, which is known to be responsible for tissue damage, but not enough studies were made on these coated forms. The anatase photoactivity could trigger the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, as it was stated before. The ROS are chemically reactive species containing oxygen, such as peroxides, superoxide, hydroxyl radical, and singlet oxygen. They are regularly produced in the biological milieu and counterbalanced by physiological antioxidant defense mechanisms. However, an abrupt increase of ROS may result in non-reversible damage to the skin cells. The effects of coated and uncoated P25TiO2NPs need therefore to be studied, and articles on this topic present different conclusions. [11][12][13] Recent literature on this topic found that TiO2NPs inhalation provokes serious genotoxicity and DNA damage [14][15][16][17]. On the other hand, some studies in rats have reported no significant harm to genetic material [18][19][20][21][22].

titanium oxide and 2 per cent' sulphuric acidand 63 per cent water, are slowly added to a solution containing 1050 pounds of barium sulphide, held in a large cylindrical tank, provided with a rotary agitation :capable of producing rapid agitation. The mass isthus v rapidly agitated, and the 2 per cent of sulphuric acid contained in the titanium acid cake reacts with a small portion of the barium sulphide. This reaction may be represented by the following equation TiO H 80 The free sulphuric acid of the titanium acid cake is neutralized by thebarium sul-' phide solution, forming barium sulphate and hydrogen sulphide, as indicated by the above equation. As the sulphuric acid is present only in a small percentage, the major porltiion of the barium sulphide remains as suc very fine colloidal suspension. The barium sulphate produced is also very fine, and the presence of this. very fine barium sulphate in suspension, and also of the very fine colloidal titanium oxide, is believed to be the explanation of the great improvement in the properties of the finished lithopone.
