rutile tio2 factories

One of the most notable characteristics of mixed crystal nano titania is its ability to absorb light across a wide range of wavelengths. This property makes it an excellent photocatalyst, capable of driving chemical reactions using only sunlight as the energy source. As such, it has found use in environmental remediation efforts, where it can help break down pollutants and harmful chemicals in water and air. Additionally, its high surface area-to-volume ratio allows for efficient adsorption of gases and liquids, making it useful in sensors and filters.

No acute effects of nano-sized TiO2 were observed in Danio rerio (zebrafish) embryos. Exposure of rainbow trout to TiO2 NPs triggered lipid peroxidation, influence on the respiratory tract, disturbance in the metabolism of Cu and Zn, induction of intestinal erosion  and accumulation in kidney tissue. Linhua et al. exposed juvenile carp to 100 and 200 mg/ml of particles and TiO2 observed no mortality. However, the fish suffered from oxidative stress and pathological changes in gill and liver. In the infaunal species Arenicola marina, exposure to TiO2 NPs in sediment caused sub-lethal effects including decrease in casting rate and increase in cellular and DNA damage. Aggregated particles were visible in the lumen of the gut, but no uptake through the gut or the skin was observed.
