EU ClassifiesTiO2 as Carcinogen: The Digest’s 2020 Multi-Slide Guide to Titanium Dioxide

While COVID-19 was just starting to get on the mind of many earlier this year, the European Union published its final decision to classify titanium dioxide as a category 2 carginogen.

But titanium dioxide is in so many things – sunscreen, cosmetics, even in self-clean fabric on metro trains – pretty handy during Covid-19 times. So what does the carcinogen mean for any biobased product that has TiO2 in it? Check out what the NanoSafetyCluster has to say about it, the steps involved in the classification and timeline, why NanoSafetyCluster is against the EU classification, and more.
