In a 2016 study published in Scientifica (Cairo), Egyptian researchers examined the effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on the organs of mice by orally administering the food additive daily, for five days. The results showed that the exposure produced “mild to moderate changes in the cytoarchitecture of brain tissue in a time dependent manner.” Furthermore, “Comet assay revealed the apoptotic DNA fragmentation, while PCR-SSCP pattern and direct sequencing showed point mutation of Presenilin 1 gene at exon 5, gene linked to inherited forms of Alzheimer’s disease.” The researchers wrote: “From these findings, “the present study concluded that TiO2NPs is genotoxic and mutagenic to brain tissue which in turn might lead to Alzheimer’s disease incidence.”

  • One of the key advantages of using titanium oxide as a pigment is its high refractive index, which gives it excellent opacity and brightness. This makes it an ideal choice for use in paints and coatings, where it can add color, durability, and protection to various surfaces. In addition, titanium oxide is also highly stable and resistant to UV radiation, making it a popular choice for use in sunscreens, cosmetics, and other products that require protection from the sun.
