Abstract
A paper in this journal on decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) used unreliable methods to reach unreliable conclusions. The authors concluded that D5 exposure should be viewed as causing human reproductive disorders and should be considered a developmental toxicant, that is, toxic to the developing embryo. The inadequate methods could not have answered the authors' research questions, and the paper should be withdrawn.
