Safety, Efficacy and Performance Testing
PURETi’s mission is to be the safest, most sustainable and effective photocatalytic solution in the world and we test to that standard.
PURETi is, at its heart, a health care company. Towards that end we put safety first and take environmental concerns very seriously. We endeavor to be transparent, collaborative and scientifically rigorous in our approach. PURETi is a NASA Dual Use Technology Partner and we routinely and openly test with national, university and independent laboratories.
Safety and Environmental Tests
- NIOSH review of TiO2 Safety Data - Established Safety Limits (met by PURETi)
- NSF registrations of PURETi as Safe for Surface Contact
- European Science Commission - Found TiO2 Safe in all forms
- DuPont 30 Year Study of 30,000 TiO2 Plant Workers - Found Safe
- UK 30 Year Study of 15,000 TiO2 Plant Workers - Found Safe
- ISU Study of TiO2 powders and mice - Found Safe
Infection Control Studies
