Autopolymerisation is the biggest hazard.
As a liquid or a gas, pure styrene will polymerise spontaneously to polystyrene, without the need of external initiators.
This is known as autopolymerisation. At 100 °C it will autopolymerise at a rate of ~2% per hour, and more rapidly than this at higher temperatures.
As the autopolymerisation reaction is exothermic it can be self-accelerating, with a real risk of a thermal runaway, potentially leading to an explosion. Examples include the 2019 explosion of the tanker Stolt Groenland, explosions at the Phillips Petroleum Company in 1999 and 2000 and overheating styrene tanks leading to the 2020 Visakhapatnam gas leak, which killed several people.
The autopolymerisation reaction can only be kept in check by the continuous addition of polymerisation inhibitors.

It’s auto-polymerizing. I wonder what got it so hot to start that.
