Description

Styrene is an organic compound that has a wide range of applications, including in the manufacture of plastics and polystyrene. Styrene is used as a solvent for paints, coatings, sealants, and adhesives. This chemical is also used to make other chemicals. Styrene can be found in many products we use every day, such as baby bottles, food containers, and plastic utensils. Styrene is released into the air from car exhausts and cigarette smoke. It can also be found in drinking water at low levels. Even though styrene may not seem harmful to us on its own, it does have serious health effects when exposed to humans over time or in large quantities. Styrene can cause depression in women and infants if they are exposed to high levels of styrene over a long period of time. It can also cause death by interfering with the central nervous system. Styrenes are known to have anti-inflammatory activity in animals and pain control properties in humans.
