Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created using several sources including: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16577143); https://www3.epa.gov/ttn/atw/hlthef/styrene.html; http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=18725

Styrene is used in the production of polystyrene plastics and resins, and in the synthesis of materials for ion exchange resins, and copolymer production. Styrene was originally extracted from the tree storax in 19th century. Its use in rubber production started at the beginning of the 20th century after in E.P. Heinmenn et al succeed in accelerating the polymerization of styrene to rubber in 1910. It is an oily colorless to yellow liquid found in many consumer products (plastic packaging, food containers, and household goods). Short-term exposure to styrene results in respiratory effects, eye irritation, and gastrointestinal effects. Long-term exposure has effects on the central nervous system. Exposure to styrene occurs due to emissions from building materials, consumer products, tobacco smoke, vehicle exhaust or occupational exposure during its industrial processing. Styrene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Long-term exposure to styrene in humans results in headache, fatigue, weakness, and depression, CSN dysfunction, hearing loss, and peripheral neuropathy.

In Vivo Use Guide
Curator's Comment: In an experimental human study, the kinetics of styrene metabolism in 8 male workers from the plastics industry were compared with those of 8 subjects not previously exposed to solvents. About 63% of the amount supplied (4.6 mmol styrene) was taken up in the body.
2.84 mmol/m3 (296 mg/m3) styrene exposure for 2 hours during light physical exercise.
Route of Administration: Respiratory
