thimerosal
Thimerosal is a mercury-based compound, also known as ethylmercurithiosalicylate, used as a preservative in some vaccines and other pharmaceutical products to prevent bacterial and fungal contamination. It is a crystalline powder that is dissolved in water to be used. Despite controversy regarding its use due to potential health effects, studies have not proven a direct link between thimerosal and health conditions such as autism.
