  • The ABC 7.30 Report recently (18 th December 2008) ran a story on the possible “dangers” of sunscreens containing nano-sized particles of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Zinc oxide is the basic ingredient of zinc cream which has been used for decades to treat and prevent nappy rash (zinc and castor …

  • … pursued by Swansea University in the UK, is a four part painting method. First, a primer is painted on the panel, next comes the electrolyte layer. On top of this is painted a coat of titanium dioxide pigment, over which a protective clear coat is painted. The titanium dioxide, when the sun shines …
