Further information

In February 2006, IARC reclassified Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) from Class 3: Unclassifiable as to carcinogenicity in humans; to 2-B: Possibly carcinogenic to humans. This SDS is revised accordingly. The IARC reclassification was based upon animal (rat) studies conducted in 1985 and 1989. This data was derived from animal studies involving extremely high, long duration, airborne respirable TiO2 concentrations which placed a severe burden upon the lungs of the laboratory animals and overwhelmed the lung clearance mechanism. These animal exposure conditions have no relevance to human occupational exposure. The large volume of historical epidemiological data indicates no correlation between real-world human exposure and this animal exposure data. These animal test results are not confirmed or corroborated by extensive industrial experience. Titanium dioxide continues to be viewed by OSHA (PEL 15 mg/m3) and ACGIH (TLV 10 mg/m3) as a substance of relatively low inhalation toxicity. No changes in the OSHA regulatory exposure standard or the ACGIH consensus guideline have been initiated as of this SDS writing. Unknown Acute Toxicity <40% of the mixture consists of ingredient(s) of unknown toxicity
