Is silicone harmful to the human body?

Silicone is a relatively special chemical product that is used in large quantities in our daily lives. Because many chemical products nowadays are very harmful to our lives and health. Therefore, many people are worried that chemicals such as silicone may have adverse effects on the body. It may even affect our life safety. So is silicone harmful to the human body? Below we will introduce some of them in detail.

Silicon is an element that rarely exists in nature in its pure form. It usually exists in the form of compounds, the most common of which are sand, glass, ceramic cylinders, etc.

The harm of silicon to the human body is usually caused through breathing. Therefore, people who have been engaged in sand mining, glass manufacturing, ceramic production and other occupations for a long time will get a disease called "silicosis". This disease is caused by the lungs inhaling too much silicon.

At present, research shows that there are basically no commonly used ones;

Of course, this is a new synthetic polymer material. In order to obtain certain properties, it is possible to develop varieties that are relatively harmful to the human body, so this problem is a bit big.

Commonly used silicone rubber, high-temperature vulcanized varieties are used in remote control buttons, pressure cooker sealing rings, laptop keyboard protective films, etc.; room temperature vulcanized varieties are used in glass glue and wall sealant in buildings, etc.; silicone oil products are used in cosmetics and shampoos, and they all have the effects of lubrication and moisturizing. Softening of clothes, etc. These products are basically harmless to the human body, but the acid glue commonly used in glass glue has an acetic acid smell after being applied. It has some adverse effects on the environment. It does not matter in small amounts, but in large amounts it can cause some damage to the human respiratory system. Of course, after decoration, if the room is opened for ventilation for a period of time, these effects will not be a problem.

The above introduction gives a good answer to the question of whether silicone is harmful to the human body. Although we encounter many chemical products such as silicone in our lives. However, as long as the exposure is within a reasonable range, it will not have a significant impact on your health. So we can be careful when touching these products in our daily lives.
