Popis: This project is a continuation of the experiments with VOCs electron beam treatment ( Honkonen et al., 1997 . Proc Int. Symp. on Radiation Technology for Conservation of the Environment, Zakopane, Poland, September, 1997). Experimental results of electron beam treatment of gaseous styrene under atmospheric pressure are presented in the paper. Two irradiation doses of 10 and 20 kGy were applied. Analyses of irradiation products were performed with a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. The results showed that main products produced by irradiation were benzaldehyde and phenol. We observed those compounds both in the gas and solid/liquid phase. The removal efficiency of styrene from the gas phase ranges from 83 to 95%. In this work we focused on organic products of irradiated styrene.
