| Abstract: | Results from a study on the clastogenicity of styrene in vivo are reported. The chromosomes in cultured blood lymphocytes from ten men occupationally exposed to styrene and 5 controls were examined. Styrene-exposed men showed an increase in the rate of chromosomal aberrations. The incidence of aberrant cells ranged from 11 to 26% in the lymphocytes of the exposed subjects and was 3% or less in those of the control group. |
