Styrene and its natural analogues: accumulation and sustainable production methods
Abstract Styrene, also known as vinyl benzene, is a colourless, highly volatile petrochemical that serves as a key monomer in the production of polystyrene and styrene‐butadiene rubber. Its industrial synthesis via the alkylation of benzene with ethylene relies on fossil fuels, requiring high temperatures and toxic catalysts that contribute to ...

Abstract To quantify aquatic carbon budgets, it is important to accurately measure dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). The standard approach requires the use of mercury chloride (HgCl2) poison to preserve samples, but the real need and overall constraints of using such a toxic compound remain elusive. Here, we evaluate the need for filtration and mercury
