One of the main concerns about TiO2 in water supplies is the potential for nanoparticles to leach into drinking water sources from consumer products that contain TiO2, such as sunscreen and toothpaste. While the concentration of TiO2 in these products is typically low, there is still a risk of exposure through ingestion or inhalation While the concentration of TiO2 in these products is typically low, there is still a risk of exposure through ingestion or inhalation While the concentration of TiO2 in these products is typically low, there is still a risk of exposure through ingestion or inhalation While the concentration of TiO2 in these products is typically low, there is still a risk of exposure through ingestion or inhalationtio2 in water suppliers.
