摘要

Sunlight can have deleterious effects on humans: causes sunburns and is the principal cause of skin cancers. Usage of TiO_2 (and ZnO) in sunscreen lotions, widely used as UVA/UVB blockers, and intended to prevent sunburns and "to protect" consumers from skin cancers (carcinomas and melanomas) is examined. Although used to mineralize many undesirable organic pollutants TiO_2 is considered to be a safe physical sunscreen agent because it reflects and scatters both UVB (290-320 nm) and UVA (320-400 nm) sunlight; however, it also absorbs substantial UV radiation which, in aqueous media, yields hydroxyl radical (·OH) species. These species cause substantial damage to DNA {J. Photochem. Photobiol. A:Chem., 111 (1997) 205}. Most importantly sunlight-illuminated sunscreen TiO_2 particles catalyze DNA damage both in vitro and in human cells {FEBS Letters, 418 (1997) 87}. These results raise concerns on the overall effects of sunscreens and raise the question on the suitability of photoactive TiO_2 as a sunscreen component without further studies. The photocatalytically active nature of these metal oxides necessitates some changes since even the TiO_2 specimens currently used in suncreams cause significant DNA strand breaks.
