Styrene and Styrene Oxide: Their Metabolism and Analytical Methods for Determination of Their Adducts with Proteins
2009
Abstract
A review of the current knowledge of the styrene and styrene oxide metabolism in laboratory animals and humans. Styrene ranks among the most important monomers in the manufacture of plastics and styrene oxide is the main intermediate involved in its metabolism.
Both chemicals exhibit adverse effects. Various analytical methods have been developed for assessing their concentrations in organisms
