It is believed that grain boundary segregation of light interstitials can serve as possible mechanism of thermal stability in commercially pure nanostructured titanium alloys. In this paper, using first-principles calculations, we show that independent segregation of C, N and O atoms at \Sigma 7 high angle grain boundary in \alpha-Ti is energetically unfavourable. The presence of interstitial elements near and at the grain boundary interface results in the increase of the grain boundary width and specific formation energy.
