Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Prevent formation of aerosols.

Storage

Keep container tightly sealed.

Fire prevention

Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke. Protect against electrostatic charges.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Hands

Protective gloves The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Eyes

Goggles recommended during refilling

Respiratory

Not required.

Endocrine disrupting properties

Other adverse effects

Persistence and degradability

Styrene is readily degraded in water under aerobic conditions. Rate of microbial mineralisation is rapid also in sewage, mineral soils and organic soil under aerobic conditions.

Styrene is readily biodegradable in water, sewage, and soil under aerobic conditions.

Bioaccumulative potential

Bioconcentration potential is low (BCF < 100 or log Pow < 3)

Bioconcentration potential is low.

Mobility in soil

The majority of styrene released into the environment is expected to reach the atmosphere due to its high potential for volitalisation. Some adsorption to soils and sediments may occur, but not to a significant extend.

Styrene is expected to volatilize into the atmosphere; adsorption to soil and sediment is not significant.

Results of PBT and vPvB assessment

PBT: Does not meet the specific criteria detailed in Annex XII of Regulation 1907/2006 and the substances is not considered a PBT. vPvB: Does not meet the specific criteria detailed in Annex XII of Regulation 1907/2006 and the substances is not considered a vPvB.

The substance does not meet the criteria for PBT or vPvB as defined in Annex XII of Regulation 1907/2006.
