Carcinogenicity Assessment of Titanium Dioxide
Introduction Titanium dioxide is a white mineral that is used to color paints, plastics, paper and other materials and is approved by the FDA as both a direct (with restricted uses) and indirect food additive. It is a non-genotoxic poorly soluble particulate. As such it has been found to not cause cancer by various routes in a number of animal models except for the rat. Titanium dioxide, as wit...
متن کاملIntegration of Life Cycle Inventories Incorporating Manufacturing Unit Processes
Sustainable manufacturing (SM) concerns the manufacture of products with regard to environmental, social, and economic impacts over the entire life cycle. With a primary focus on environmental concerns, life cycle assessment (LCA) can support SM practices. The life cycle inventory (LCI) is a key phase of LCA, and this paper considers the integration of manufacturing unit processes (MUPs) into s...
متن کاملEmerging approaches, challenges and opportunities in life cycle assessment.
In the modern economy, international value chains--production, use, and disposal of goods--have global environmental impacts. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) aims to track these impacts and assess them from a systems perspective, identifying strategies for improvement without burden shifting. We review recent developments in LCA, including existing and emerging applications aimed at supporting envi...
متن کاملThe assessment of titanium dioxide exposure.
We have read the paper submitted by Hext et al. (2005) with great interest. The aim of their study was to make a comprehensive overview of the results obtained from extensive study programmes commissioned by TiO2 manufacturers to investigate the toxicological and epidemiological aspects of TiO2. In the ‘Epidemiology studies’ section the authors report the results of two relevant European and US...
