NOTES |
---|
The commercial form of vinylbenzene contains the three isomeric forms but the meta isomer predominates. Insufficient data are available on the effect of this substance on human health, therefore utmost care must be taken. An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. See ICSC 0073. |
