Styrene oxide Safety Profile

Confirmed carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic, tumorigenic, and teratogenic data. Moderately toxic by ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, and intraperitoneal routes. Experimental reproductive effects. Human mutation data reported. A skin and eye irritant. Flammable when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.
