A survey of cyclic and linear siloxanes in indoor dust and their implications for human exposures in twelve countries

http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/29592
Siloxanes are used widely in a variety of consumer products, including cosmetics, personal care products, medical and electrical devices, cookware, and building materials.


Nevertheless, little is known on the occurrence of siloxanes in indoor dust.
In this survey, five cyclic (D3-D7) and 11 linear (L4-L14) siloxanes were determined in 310 indoor dust samples collected from 12 countries.



Dust samples collected from Greece contained the highest concentrations of total cyclic siloxanes (TCSi), ranging from 118 to 25,100 ng/g (median: 1380), and total linear siloxanes (TLSi), ranging from 129 to 4990 ng/g (median: 772).

Abstract: Siloxanes are used widely in a variety of consumer products, including cosmetics, personal care products, medical and electrical devices, cookware, and building materials. Nevertheless, little is known on the occurrence of siloxanes in indoor dust. In this survey, five cyclic (D3-D7) and 11 linear (L4-L14) siloxanes were determined in 310 indoor dust samples collected from 12 countries. Dust samples collected from Greece contained the highest concentrations of total cyclic siloxanes (TCSi), ranging from 118 to 25,100 ng/g (median: 1380), and total linear siloxanes (TLSi), ranging from 129 to 4990 ng/g (median: 772).
