The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described here. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties.
Aviation Fuel (JET A-1, JP-5, Date:JP-8, AN-8) Version 1 October 2021 Page 5 of 38 4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Following inhalation: Inhalation of vapours may cause headache, nausea, vomiting and an altered state of consciousness Following skin contact: Reddening, irritation
JP-5 is the U.S. Navy's primary jet fuel, and JP-8 is one of the jet fuels used by the U.S. Air Force. Both JP-5 and JP-8 are colorless liquids and smell like kerosene. Kerosene is the primary substance in each. Although JP-5 and JP-8 are liquids at room temperature, they can also change into gas vapor. Both JP-5 and JP-8 are flammable.
This Public Health Statement summarizes the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s findings on JP-5, JP-8, and Jet A fuels, tells you about them, the effects of exposure, and describes what you can do to limit that exposure.
Chapter 3: Health Effects: Specific health effects of a given hazardous compound are reported by type of health effect (death, systemic, immunologic, reproductive), by route of exposure, and by length of exposure (acute, intermediate, and chronic). In addition, both human and animal studies are reported in this section.
It contains descriptions and evaluations of toxicological studies and epidemiological investigations and provides conclusions, where possible, on the relevance of toxicity and toxicokinetic data to public health. JP-5, JP-8, and Jet A fuels are kerosene-based jet fuels (NRC 2003; Ritchie et al. 2003).
The major categories of health effects in LSE tables and figures include death, systemic, immunological and lymphoreticular, neurological, developmental, reproductive, and cancer. NOAELs and LOAELs can be reported in the tables and figures for all effects but cancer.
