The National Cancer Institute tested TiO₂ for possible carcinogenicity by the oral route of exposure by feeding rats and mice with TiO₂ (size not specified) at doses 25,000 or 50,000 ppm TiO₂ for 103 weeks. They concluded that TiO₂ was not carcinogenic.Also, the study with rats fed diets containing up to 5 % TiO₂ coated mica for 130 weeks showed no treatment-related carcinogenicity. Since the size and other TiO₂ properties were not specified or determined, we cannot generalize this conclusion and we have to take into account other possible outcomes of this scenario in different exposure conditions (other size/crystalline structure of TiO₂ etc.).
