Pharmacological action

Styrene is flammable and miscible with most organic solvents, but only slightly soluble in water.The pure monomer is a colorless, oily liquid.The monomer tends to spontaneous polymerization.It is a possible or potential human carcinogen.It has also been studied and reported effects include effects on vision and on hearing functions.
