Abstract: | This article presents the changes in the thermal properties of the control and titanium dioxide (TiO2), both nano and bulk exposed Zebrafish bones by using thermo analytical techniques. The result shows that the mass loss due
to the thermal decomposition occurs in three distinct steps due to loss of water, organic and inorganic materials. The titanium
dioxide exposed bones present a different thermal behaviour compared to the control bones. The residue masses are found to
be increased due to titanium dioxide exposure. In particular, nano titanium dioxide exposure increases the residue mass level
significantly (three fold) when compared to titanium dioxide bulk exposure. These thermal characteristics can be used as a
qualitative method to check the metal oxide intoxication in biological samples. |
