TLDR
The hydroxylation of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, styrene, cumene, o -xylene, m -xylene, p -Xylene, p-cymene, pseudocumene, and mesitylene was studied following their oral administration to rats to study the formation of phenolic metabolites to the toxicity of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing Aids and Materials in contact with Food (AFC) on a request from the Commission, Flavouring Group Evaluation 22: Ring-substituted phenolic substances from chemical groups 21 and 25: Question No EFSA-Q-2003-165

TL;DR: The Scientific Panel on Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing Aids and Materials in Contact with Food (the Panel) is asked to advise the Commission on the implications for human health of chemically defined flavouring substances used in or on foodstuffs in the Member States as mentioned in this paper.

Review of the toxicology of styrene.

TL;DR: Needed areas of future research on styrene include studies on the molecular dosimetry of styrene in terms of both hemoglobin and DNA adducts, which should improve the ability to assess the relationship between exposure to styrene and surrogate measures of "effective dose", thereby improving the able to estimate the effects of low-level human exposures.

Metabolism and toxicity of styrene.

TL;DR: Reports of organ toxicity upon chronic exposure to styrene are rare; however, since the chief intermediate in styrene metabolism is an epoxide, hepatotoxicity due to covalent binding at the site of formation appears to be a possibility.

An overview of environmental and toxicological aspects of aromatic hydrocarbons. I. Benzene.

TL;DR: Xylenes are an agent of major chemical and occupational significance and is extensively employed in a broad spectrum of applications, primarily as a solvent for which its use is increasing as a "safe" replacement for benzene, and in gasoline as part of the BTX component.

Accumulation and metabolism of carbon-14 labeled benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene by young coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)

TL;DR: The findings indicated that the aromatic hydrocarbons in key organs increased in relation to the number of benzenoid rings, and it appears that aromatic metabolites are broadly distributed throughout fish exposed to polynuclear aromatic Hydrocarbons.

Analysis of simple phenols of interest in metabolism: II. Conjugate hydrolysis and extraction methods

TL;DR: Methods for conjugate hydrolysis and ether extraction of simple phenols in urine have been investigated and recoveries of some dihydroxybenzenes were considerably reduced and these losses were shown to occur during the removal of phenolic acids.
