Mechanism of Action of TiO2: Recommendations to Reduce Uncertainties Related to Carcinogenic Potential.

abstract：:Originally, organophosphorus (OP) toxicology consisted of acetylcholinesterase inhibition by insecticides and chemical threat agents acting as phosphorylating agents for serine in the catalytic triad, but this is no longer the case. Other serine hydrolases can be secondary OP targets, depending on the OP structure, an...
