A reliable and accurate method for collection and analysis of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane
(D4), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5), and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6) in …

Ambient concentrations of the volatile octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS) in natural
waters were predicted using two environmental‐fate analyses: an atmospheric model and a …

Laboratory studies suggest that the cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS)
octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) and …

The release of siloxane from landfill leachate has attracted wide attention. In this study,
dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6) and dodecamethylpentasiloxane (L5) were chosen as …

decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) during municipal wastewater treatment has been …

Siloxanes are widely used in personal care and industrial products due to their soft texture,
low surface tension, thermal stability, antimicrobial and hydrophobic properties, among other …

The use of siloxanes has been increasing due to physicochemical properties that are
appropriate to be included in the formulations of a large variety of consumer products. This …
