The Hidden Pollutant in Your Air Research from Utrecht University has revealed a disturbing reality: a silicone pollutant called methylsiloxane, commonly used in cosmetics and industrial products, is present in alarmingly high levels across the globe.
This pollutant's ubiquity raises serious questions about our long term health, particularly since it's likely being inhaled by humans on a daily basis.
For years, scientists have sounded the alarm about pollutants like PFAS and microplastics, which have been linked to everything from cancer to climate change.
