Siloxanes are commonly known as silicones. They belong to the organosilicon
compounds and are exclusively obtained by synthesis. Their chemical structure
determines a range of physicochemical properties which were recognized as unique.
Due to the susceptibility to chemical modifications, ability to create short,
long or complex polymer particles, siloxanes found an application in many areas
of human life. Siloxanes differ in particle size, molecular weight, shape and
chemical groups. As a result, this determines the different physico-chemical
properties, that directly affect the safety or the risk of their use. The areas
that can be a source of danger to human health will be commented in this paper.
