Rutile titanium dioxide is a naturally occurring mineral that is composed of titanium (IV) oxide and oxygen. Rutile TiO2 nanopowder has shown to be an effective catalyst for the decomposition of organic matter in wastewater treatment, due to its strong reactive properties. Rutile TiO2 nanopowder can also be used as an additive in polymerase chain reactions (PCR). It has been shown to have a number of physiological effects, such as changes in the expression of genes related to the pathogenesis of certain cancers. The mechanism by which this occurs is not yet fully understood and requires further research. Rutile TiO2 nanopowder is produced by laser ablation and has been used for analytical methods such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The toxicity of rutile TiO2 nanopowder has been studied extensively with regards to its effects on animals, humans, and plants.
