Ingestion
Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to
cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can get
into the lungs during swallowing or vomiting. This results in lung inflammation and
other lung injury.
Inhalation
Breathing of vapor or mist is possible. Breathing aerosol and/or mist is possible
when material is sprayed. Aerosol and mist may present a greater risk of injury because
more material may be present in the air than from vapor alone. Breathing small amounts
of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Breathing
large amounts may be harmful. Symptoms are not expected at air concentrations below
the recommended exposure limits, if applicable (see Section 8.).
Aggravated Medical Condition
Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may be
aggravated by exposure to this material:, respiratory tract, skin, lung (for example,
asthma-like conditions), liver, central nervous system, male reproductive system,
auditory system
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of exposure to this material through breathing, swallowing,
and/or passage of the material through the skin may include:, metallic taste, stomach or
intestinal upset (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), irritation (nose, throat, airways), central
nervous system depression (dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache,
unconsciousness) and other central nervous system effects, loss of coordination,
confusion, liver damage
Target Organs
Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause
of the following effects in laboratory animals:, mild, reversible kidney effects, effects on
hearing, respiratory tract damage (nose, throat, and airways), testis damage, liver damage,
Overexposure to this material (or its components) has been suggested as a cause of the
following effects in humans:, mild effects on color vision, effects on hearing, respiratory
tract damage (nose, throat, and airways), central nervous system effects
Carcinogenicity
There was no increase in cancer in rats exposed to styrene by inhalation.
However, there was an increase in lung cancer in styrene-exposed mice. The relevance
of the mouse lung cancer to humans is uncertain. Styrene did not cause cancer in mice in
