Effects of Jet-Propulsion Fuel 8 on the Nervous System

This chapter summarizes the findings on potential neurotoxicity from exposure to jet-propulsion fuel 8 (JP-8) presented in the National Research Council report Permissible Exposure levels forSekctedMiUtary Fuel Vapors (NRC 1996) and reviews additional studies, most of which were completed after the 1996 report was published. Since the 1996 report was released, additional epidemiologic studies associated with occupational JP-8 exposure and experimental animal studies examining the neurotoxic potential of kerosene-based jet fuels, including JP-8, and kerosene via the dermal and inhalation routes have been conducted. The subcommittee used the available information on JP-8 to assess the potential for toxic effects of JP-8 on the nervous system in humans. [Pg.56]
