Evidence of concentrations of siloxanes in women’s bodies outside of their implants is particularly concerning.
Conclusion
Evidence of concentrations of siloxanes in women’s bodies outside of their implants is particularly concerning. The mental health impacts of knowing that chemicals, which are being banned in other uses due to their toxicity, are circulating in your body should not be underestimated or dismissed. This is particularly true for women who received PIP implants, which have higher rupture rates, lower grade silicone and higher levels of D4 siloxane. (Conclusion, Paragraph 45)
