TLDR
Results show that, for the test conditions described here and on an equal-weight basis, if carbon nanotubes reach the lungs, they are much more toxic than carbon black and can be more Toxic than quartz, which is considered a serious occupational health hazard in chronic inhalation exposures. Expand
Safety and efficacy of microfine titanium dioxide
Modern microfine TiO products attenuate both UVA and UVB. The ingredient is practically chemically inert and non-penetrating and can be regarded a safe cosmetic raw material.
