Sources of Exposure: Personal care products and cosmetics
Health Impacts: According to the National Toxicology Program, styrene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on limited evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans, sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals, and supporting data on mechanisms of carcinogenesis. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of 1,3-butadiene, according to studies showing cancer of the hematolymphatic organs.
