Are 'old school' UV sunscreen filters safe? Please explain.

I've come across testimonies and scholary articles that link the use of sunscreen filters like oxybenzone, avobenzone, octixonate, octocrylene, octisalate and homosalate to endocrine and hormone disruption. I even discovered articles that link the inhalation of titanium dioxide with lung cancer development.

The article below from the Environmental Working Group pushed me to share my inquiry here:
