Fast, but complex: microbial styrene degradation Bacteria and fungi, as well as the human body, activate styrene with the help of oxygen and form styrene oxide.

Researchers precisely characterize styrene oxide isomerase, which could help yield 'green' chemicals and drug precursors Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have—for the first time ...

Under the non-binding MoU, the JV will construct a new propylene oxide (PO) and styrene monomer (SM) unit in Zhenhai, Ningbo, China to serve that country's domestic market. Once finalized, this JV ...

While the leak coming from the train car appeared to be a gas, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences says styrene is a colorless, flammable liquid used to make plastics and rubber.

In August 2005, styrene began leaking from a railcar in Cincinnati's East End. That also was not the result of a derailment, but the leak forced evacuations and shelter-in-place orders for residents.
