Principle Routes of Exposure
Routes of entry for solids and liquids include eye and skin contact, ingestion and inhalation. Routes of entry for gases include inhalation and eye contact. Skin contact may be a route of entry for liquified gases. Acute toxicity: Virtually nontoxic after a single ingestion. Chronic toxicity: Carcinogenicity: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has included styrene in Group 2B (sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in animals). NTP listed carcinogen Signs and symptoms of overexposure: The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2) and/or in section 11., Further important symptoms and effects are so far not known.
