ABSTRACT
Styrene and its presumed metabolite, styrene oxide, were tested for their mutagenic effect on a forward mutation system of yeast and of Chinese hamster cells, and on a gene-conversion system of yeast. Experiments with liver microsomal preparations and host-mediated assay with yeast were also carried out. Styrene oxide was mutagenic in all test systems. Styrene was mutagenic only in the host-mediated assay.
