**5.2 Styrene**

*Styrene* is a colorless solvent found in paints, plastics, and resins. It is one of the essential monomers usually used in plastic production. This compound can cause intoxication when inhaled in high concentrations for longer periods. There are few case reports regarding styrene-induced peripheral neuropathies. Early studies demonstrated abnormal neurological findings in humans exposed to styrene in low doses [118]. Styrene-induced peripheral neuropathy is characterized by neuropathic symptoms that start within a few days after significant exposure to styrene. Goba et al. reported that two workers presented with styrene-induced neuropathy. The workers had sensory-motor peripheral neuropathy of a demyelinating type [119].
