摘要
While most organometallics enter the environment through their industrial release, silicones are organometallic compounds purposefully introduced in high volume directly into healthy humans. A chemically centered study of the behavior of silicones in the biological environment reveals numerous degradative reactions and surface interactions that can produce bioreactive substances. Data from a variety of disciplines suggest that the preponderance of evidence supports the argument that silicone is a toxic organometallic. (C) 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
