Predicting toxic potencies of metal oxide nanoparticles by means of nano-QSARs.

abstract：:The whitening and opacifying properties of titanium dioxide (TiO2) are commonly exploited when it is used as a food additive (E171). However, the safety of this additive can be questioned as TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) have been classed at potentially toxic. This study aimed to shed some light on the mechanisms behi...
