Ten years of research on synergisms and antagonisms in chemical mixtures: A systematic review and quantitative reappraisal of mixture studies

Olwenn Martin et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and quantitative reassessment of experimental mixture studies over the past 10 years, finding that approximately one quarter of studies claimed synergistic or antagonistic effects, while another quarter arrived at different evaluations. Although the majority of studies did not exceed acceptable between-study variability, and observed mixture doses were usually within two-fold higher or lower than predicted additive doses, there were still relatively few cases of synergistic or antagonistic effects that stood up to scrutiny.

Safety assessment of titanium dioxide (E171) as a food additive

Maged Younes et al.

Summary: This opinion presents an updated safety assessment of the food additive titanium dioxide (E 171) based on new scientific evidence. Studies indicated that while particles smaller than 30 nm may have limited relevance to E 171 safety assessment, general and organ toxicity were not observed at the tested doses. Adverse effects were indicated in terms of potential immunotoxicity and inflammation with E 171 and potential neurotoxicity with TiO2 NPs.
