No reliable information was found to indicate a need to change the Navy's proposed PEL of 350 mg~m3. The findings in Swedish jet-motor factory woricers of chronic CNS effects performance degradation and neurasthenic symptoms attributable to long-term exposure to jet fuels at TWA concentrations of 300 mgim3 were considered questionable for reasons discussed above.

The subcommittee also recommends the following: o Appropriate protective clothing should be worn to reduce dermal exposure because of the evidence of the carcinogenic potential of DFM via the dermal route. · Because respirable aerosols of military fuels are much more toxic than vapors, naval personnel should avoid exposure to aerosolized fuel.

Breath analysis of exposed personnel is recommencled to determine the extent of individual exposures to fuel vapors. Conduct studies on the possible effects of high-level acute and low-level chronic exposure to military fuel vapors on the CNS, including the effects on the performance of personnel.
