Fragrance is everywhere / Measured in people or real products

General-population blood styrene levels (US NHANES, general adult population) run in the range of roughly 0.02-0.2 nanograms per milliliter (50th to 95th percentile across several 1988-2008 survey cycles) — two to three orders of magnitude below levels reported in occupationally exposed reinforced-plastics or rubber workers.

Strong evidence: NHANES biomonitoring data; does not by itself establish health risk at these levels, only relative exposure magnitude versus occupational cohorts.
