Presenting the most current research, this volume explores the toxic effects of JP-8 jet fuel on the pulmonary, immune, skin, and nervous systems. The book examines the history and chemistry of jet fuel, immune suppression by dermal exposure, the molecular response of the skin, evaluation of skin irritation potential, pulmonary function after exposure, and proteomic response after exposure. It discusses studies of the acute effects of jet fuels on airways in rats, and the neurobehavioral effects on humans. The book provides a comparison of Air National Guard and Air Force Personnel exposure st.
