Ethylbenzene has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. There is no evidence that these
findings are relevant to humans. An increased incidence of lung tumors was observed in mice from an
inhalation study on styrene. The relevance of this finding to humans is uncertain since data from mode
of action investigations of mouse lung tumors coupled with other long-term animal studies and
epidemiology studies of workers exposed to styrene do not provide a basis to conclude that styrene is
carcinogenic. The very small quantities of styrene monomer are not expected to cause any hazardous
condition because of the low concentration in the resin. As the resin is supplied, monomer is not likely
to be released into the surroundings in toxicologically significant amounts. Monomer may be released
during processing of the resin and the hazard may vary from negligible to very low depending on
actual exposure.

12. Ecological Information
Toxicity
Not expected to be acutely toxic, but material in pellet or bead form may mechanically cause adverse
effects if ingested by waterfowl or aquatic life.
Persistence and Degradability
This water-insoluble polymeric solid is expected to be inert in the environment. Surface
photodegradation is expected with exposure to sunlight. No appreciable biodegradation is expected.
Bioaccumulative potential
Bioaccumulation: No bioconcentration is expected because of the relatively high molecular weight
(MW greater than 1000).
Mobility in soil
Mobility in soil: In the terrestrial environment, material is expected to remain in the soil., In the
aquatic environment, material will sink and remain in the sediment.
Results of PBT and vPvB assessment
This mixture has not been assessed for persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT).
Other adverse effects
No relevant data found.
