SECTION 2: Hazards identification
2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture
30000.x series. Emergency overview Solid. [Granular solid.] Black. Odorless. When converted to Titanium dioxide pigments by downstream users, airborne particles may be generated. Titanium dioxide was classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans, IARC 2B (based on animal studies, particle overload. However, human epidemiology studies all negative).
