The National Cancer Institute tested TiO2 for possible carcinogenicity by the oral route of exposure by feeding rats and mice with TiO2 (size not specified) at doses 25,000 or 50,000 ppm TiO2 for 103 weeks. They concluded that TiO2 was not carcinogenic.Also, the study with rats fed diets containing up to 5 % TiO2 coated mica for 130 weeks showed no treatment-related carcinogenicity. Since the size and other TiO2 properties were not specified or determined, we cannot generalize this conclusion and we have to take into account other possible outcomes of this scenario in different exposure conditions (other size/crystalline structure of TiO2 etc.).

Suppliers play a crucial role in transforming these raw materials into usable titanium dioxide. They employ specialized extraction techniques such as the Becher process for ilmenite or the sulfate process for rutile and anatase, which involve chemically treating the ore to produce titanium dioxide. In the sulfate process, for example, the ore is treated with sulfuric acid to form titanyl sulfate, which is then calcined to yield titanium dioxide.
