Permissible Exposure Levels for Selected Military Fuel Vapors
0.09, 0.3, or 0.9 mL/kg in rats. No significant dominant lethality was observed in any of the measurements.
Tests on JP-5 also did not result in evidence of mutagenicity. JP-5 was tested in the Ames assay with Salmonella typhimurium TA-1535, TA-1537, TA-97, TA-98, and TA-100 at concentrations of 100-10,000 µg per plate in the presence or absence of metabolic activation systems from rat or hamster liver (NTP, 1986).
CONCLUSIONS
The subcommittee does not consider the vapors of the fuels JP-5, JP-8, and DFM to constitute an important genotoxic hazard.
