If low concentrations (probably less than one molar percent) of silane are inhaled, the silane may react with basic solutions in the body, forming silicates and hydrogen. With further hydrolysis in the body tissues, silicic acid could be formed.

• 如果吸入低浓度（可能小于一摩尔百分比）硅烷，硅烷会同身体里的基本溶液发生反应，生成硅酸盐和氢。随着在身体组织里的进一步水解，可以生成硅酸。
