α-Methylstyrene (AMS) is a volatile hydrocarbon used primarily in the production of specialty polymers and resins. In the present study, the tissue distribution, metabolism, and excretion of [ 14 C]AMS was investigated in male rats after i.v. administration (11 mg/kg). Over 90% of AMS administered intravenously to rats was excreted in 72 h.
