In a 2020 study published in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, researchers conducted an in vitro experiment to analyze the effects of TiO2 nanoparticles on a human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cell line. The scientists evaluated “reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, apoptosis, cellular antioxidant response, endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy.” The results showed that exposure to the nanoparticles “induced ROS generation in a dose dependent manner, with values reaching up to 10 fold those of controls. Nrf2 nuclear localization and autophagy also increased in a dose dependent manner. Apoptosis increased by 4- to 10-fold compared to the control group, depending on the dose employed.”

Moreover, the ethical considerations surrounding the sourcing and synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles cannot be overlooked. Responsible suppliers engage in sustainable practices, minimizing potential environmental impacts during production and distributing materials with full disclosure of safety information. This approach fosters trust among consumers and stakeholders, ensuring that the benefits of nanotechnology are realized without compromising ecological or human health.
