... HEMATOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF JP-5 FUEL VAPORS The toxic effects of vapors from petroleum-derivec! and shaleclerived JP-5 fuels were first reported in 1977 (MacEwen and Vernot, 197S, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984; GaworsIci et al., 1979~.

... Data were gathered on the hematocrit, hemoglobin, total e~ythrocytes, total leuicocytes, differential counts, mean corpuscular volume, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. Clinical chemistry measurements were taken of sodium, potassium, calcium, albumin~gIobulin ratios, total protein, glucose, alkaline phosphatase, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT)

... Blood studies were performed in the males immediately after exposure and 2 weeks, 2 months, 9 months, and 21 months after cessation of exposure; blood studies were performed in the females immediately after exposure and again 9 months and 21 months after first exposure. Although statistically significant changes were observer!

... Male and female rats followed up 19 months after completion of the 90-day exposure exhibited no residual changes in blood levels of erythrocytes, leuicocytes, hematocrit, or hemoglobin. The results of studies using DFM derived from petroleum and shale of!

... In rats, marginal changes in hematological and clinical chemical values still fell within the normal range and were not considered biologically important. CONCLUSIONS The data on the hematological effects of JP-5, JP-S, and DFM vapors are sparse.
