How are we typically exposed to titanium dioxide? 

With the rise of nanotechnology, research in recent years has also shown the dangers of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, and their genotoxicity, which refers to a chemical agent’s ability to harm or damage DNA in cells, thus potentially causing cancer. 

When we purchase lithopone, we must pay attention to its ratio. This can be seen to some extent from the appearance. Basically, we can see that good  products are very delicate. , and the color is also very uniform, a kind of shiny white, while inferior lithopone has uneven particles and wrong luster.

Importantly, TiO2 also has a very high refractive index (its ability to scatter light), even higher than diamond. This makes it an incredibly bright substance and an ideal material for aesthetic design use.

The California plaintiff is apparently not the only one concerned about titanium dioxide. The European Union recently banned its use citing concerns about serious health consequences.
