The effect of fat contents and conditions of contact in actual use on styrene monomer migrated from general-purpose polystyrene into selected fatty dishes and beverage

This study has proven that the migration of styrene into fatty dishes and beverage of Malaysian cuisine strongly depended on fat contents. Nonetheless, the migration of styrene monomer that was subjected to varying temperatures and contact duration, which mimics the actual practice, were well below the OML specified by the European Commission, which is at 10 mg/dm2.Graphical abstract
