โฆ Synopsis
The results obtained by feeding rats siliconecoated food, and injecting silicone suspensions into mice and into rabbits are re orted. The conclusion reached from the stu&es described i s that the silicone examined possesses a low degree of toxicity.
HE DEVELOPMENT of various silicone prod-
Tucts
during recent years has resulted in their application in many systems where they come in contact with food and medicinal products. iSpplications of this sort are always open to question because of toxicological effects that may result from traces of such material contaminating the product. Because there was no information available on the toxicity of these materials, such an investigation was made.
