Yes and no depending on whether it is inhaled or ingested. Titanium dioxide is a cancer causing agent as listed by the CDC bu only when inhaled. The World Health Organization in their review of titanium dioxide concluded that titanium dioxide is not carcinogenic when ingested. This is similar to coal dust, flour dust etc where inhalation interferes with the uptake of oxygen into the blood stream.
Titanium dioxide is completely inert when ingested and is not harmful to health.

Other experts disagree with the above opinion, however. For example, Dr. Michael Greger at Nutritionfacts.org says that titanium dioxide (artificial color) should be avoided because it might increase inflammation due to bacterial endotoxins:

Vitacost and a few other vitamin supplement sellers have banned all products that contain titanium dioxide from their inventories of products.
No.
-------
Only if you breathe it in, since it accumulates in the lungs.
Commonly called silica- or sand. Inhaling very fine particles of silica can cause a serious illness called silicosis.
No. But it's not particularly harmful either. It's a coloring agent, used to color food and cosmetic products white.
No. Silicon dioxide is, literally, sand, like beach sand. It is used to prevent caking of powdery products, and is not harmful.
Yes, nitrogen dioxide is harmful. It is a pollutant which is toxic if inhaled.
phospheric acid
here are a few harmful gases carbon monoxide nitrogen dioxide sulphur dioxide carbon dioxide methane there are many more
the most harmful is carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is good for plants; they use it as an ingredient of photosynthesis. Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is thought to cause global warming, but it does not directly harm plants. Indirectly, global warming causes changes in rain patterns which are harmful to some plants in some locations.
No - Hydrochloric acid must not be used as a cooking ingredient as it is very harmful and corrosive
1. Carbon dioxide is a gas, non-toxic, with the formula CO2. 2. Carbon dioxide is not harmful for drivers. But: - carbon dioxide is harmful for the life on the earth because is a green house gas - carbon dioxide is not a breathing gas and did not maintain animal life - carbon dioxide is useful for plants, important in photosynthesis
yes
Because it might contain certain harmful gases such as Carbon dioxide, methane, and so on which are harmful to lungs.
it is harmful -------- Examples: releasing of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sometimes nitrogen dioxide or sulfur dioxide or fluorine compounds, many other organic compounds, flying ash.
