Workplace Exposure to Titanium Dioxide Nanopowder Released from a Bag Filter System
Many researchers who use laboratory-scale synthesis systems to manufacture nanomaterials could be easily exposed to airborne nanomaterials during the research and development stage. This study used various real-time aerosol detectors to investigate the presence of nanoaerosols in a laboratory used to manufacture titanium dioxide (TiO2). The TiO2 nanopowders were produced via flame synthesis and...
متن کامل[Titanium dioxide nanoparticles: occupational exposure limits].
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is produced in Poland as a high production volume chemical (HPVC). It is used mainly as a pigment for paints and coatings, plastics, paper, and also as additives to food and pharmaceuticals. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are increasingly applied in cosmetics, textiles and plastics as the ultraviolet light blocker. This contributes to a growing occupational exposure to T...
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...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Vascular Bed Responses to Pulmonary Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle Exposure
A growing body of research links engineered nanomaterial (ENM) exposure to adverse cardiovascular endpoints. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of ENM exposure on vascular reactivity in discrete segments so that we may determine the most sensitive levels of the vasculature where these negative cardiovascular effects are manifest. We hypothesized that acute nano-TiO2 exposure d...
متن کاملExposure to titanium dioxide and risk of lung cancer in a population-based study from Montreal.
OBJECTIVES This study assessed the lung cancer risk from exposure to titanium dioxide, an important pigment with limited evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals but sparse data for humans. METHODS The risk of lung cancer among residents in Montreal, Canada, was analyzed, including 857 histologically confirmed cases of lung cancer diagnosed during 1979-1985 among men aged 35-70 yea...
