Part Descriptions

LP16839-0   Titanium
Titanium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a light, strong, lustrous, corrosion -resistant (including resistance to sea water and chlorine) transition metal with a white-silvery-metallic color. Titanium is used in strong light-weight alloys (most notably with iron and aluminium), and in powdered form to other materials, such as graphite composites. Its most common compound, titanium dioxide, is used in white pigments. Examples in which white pigment, consisting of titanium oxide, is used, are correction fluid and commonly used white paint to repaint walls. It is also used in toothpaste, white road marking paints and in white fireworks. Substances containing titanium are called titaniferous. The element occurs in numerous minerals with the main sources being rutile and ilmenite, which are widely distributed over the Earth.

LP16839-0   Titanium
The ninth most abundant element in the earth's crust, is widely distributed and mainly used in the aircraft and chemical industries for its corrosion-resistant properties. Main sources of environmental contamination are combustion of fossil fuels and the incineration of titanium-containing wastes. Absorption from the gastrointestinal tract takes place, but the extent is unknown. Usually the highest titanium concentrations are in the lungs, followed by the kidney and liver. There is no evidence that titanium is an essential element for man or animals. Animal and human studies have shown that titanium in implants and prostheses is extremely well tolerated by osseous and soft tissues. Titanium compounds have been used in various dermatological formulations, without any known adverse effects; however, exposure appears to induce various levels of slight pulmonary fibrosis. Titanium dioxide is also often used in lung clearance studies where a biologically inert substance is needed. Copyright Copyright © 2006 World Health Organization.
