Siloxanes are serious contaminates in several industrial processes. Another big one is powder coating "paint". It can be bad even if only comes from a personal care product used by an employee at home.
And you called out their near-infinite ability to be spread around.
Very useful and interesting class of chemicals.
What is powder coating paint? Curious so as I can avoid it :)

It's a common process used to coat all sorts of objects. But you don't buy "powder coating paint" and use it yourself, it is done in purpose built facilities.
I think the parent is referring to something else, given the part about personal care products.
