Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials Market Challenges

Health related issues with nano particles

There are various health related issues with nano particles. Inhalation of nano particles causes inflammation in lungs, heart and other organs such as liver and intestine. The nano materials is also said to cause inflammation, fibrosis, and carcinogenicity which is very hazardous to living creatures. For instance, in India, under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) many nanoscale materials are regarded as "chemical substances" that are toxic, especially chemical substances that have structures with dimensions at the nanoscale -- approximately 1-100 nanometers (nm) are commonly referred to as nanoscale materials or nanoscale substances. This is one of the biggest challenge in the titanium dioxide nanomaterials market.
