titanium dioxide for chinese ceramic glaze supplier

The current price of titanium dioxide ranges from $16,000 to $22,000 per metric ton, depending on the quality and purity of the product. The price fluctuations can be attributed to the changes in the aforementioned factors. For instance, an increase in raw material prices or a decrease in production capacity can lead to a rise in the cost of production, resulting in higher prices for consumers. On the other hand, an increase in market demand or a decrease in supply can lead to a decrease in prices.

In a study published in 2022 in the journal Particle and Fibre Technologyresearchers examined the impact of maternal exposure to titanium dioxide nanoparticles in newborn offspring mice. They found that “a chronic exposure to TiO2 NPs during pregnancy alters the respiratory activity of offspring, characterized by an abnormally elevated rate of breathing.” Breathing was also shown to be “significantly and abnormally accelerated,” and the ability for neural circuitry to effectively adjust breathing rates was impaired. The researchers concluded: “Our findings thus demonstrate that a maternal exposure to TiO2 NPs during pregnancy affects the normal development and operation of the respiratory centers in progeny.”
