Abstract:

In this paper, we present the results of a chemical analysis and mean group concentrations of styrene in the blood of adults and children, living in areas with different levels of chemical pollution. The mean blood concentrations of styrene in the group of children, who are chronically exposed to industrial styrene, have been found to be reliably higher than those in children from unpolluted areas.
