¿Debo evitar styrene durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
Styrene has a harmonised CLP reproduction hazard classification H361d (suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child) under ECHA/CLP (legally binding), which supports h=2. Animal inhalation studies report developmental/neurobehavioral effects at high exposures and styrene is metabolised to styrene oxide (a reactive metabolite) — a demonstrated mechanistic route relevant to toxicity, so m=2. For normal topical cosmetic use dermal exposure and bioavailability are expected to be low, so e=1 for pregnancy (measurable but low). Sources: ECHA substance & CLH information, NTP/OHAT and peer-reviewed reviews.

- ¿Es styrene seguro durante el embarazo?
- Styrene has a harmonised CLP reproduction hazard classification H361d (suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child) under ECHA/CLP (legally binding), which supports h=2. Animal inhalation studies report developmental/neurobehavioral effects at high exposures and styrene is metabolised to styrene oxide (a reactive metabolite) — a demonstrated mechanistic route relevant to toxicity, so m=2.

- ¿Es styrene seguro durante la lactancia?
- Harmonised CLP H361d applies equally for reproductive hazard including risk to the unborn and supports an elevated hazard for lactation contexts (h=2). Metabolism to styrene oxide and systemic effects following inhalation/other exposures are documented (m=2). Typical cosmetic topical use would give low but measurable systemic exposure (e=1); milk transfer is possible at sufficient systemic levels but specific human lactation data are limited.
- ¿Es styrene seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard remains h=2 because of the harmonised H361d classification and animal reproductive findings. Mechanistic concerns (metabolism to styrene oxide) remain relevant (m=2). Exposure score increased by +1 for infants (user rule) because baby skin has higher absorption and a higher surface-area-to-weight ratio; if adult e=1 then infant e=2. There is limited direct infant-specific data.
