Nanoparticle's huge footprint is crushing our DNA to bits?
In fact, manufacturing TiO2 nanoparticles is a huge industry that produces about two million tons of the stuff each year...
Bottom line: the study conducted by researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has revealed for the first time that TiO2 nanoparticles induce single and double-strand DNA breaks and cause chromosomal damage, as well as inflammation, all of which increase the risk of cancer.
