Jet Fuel Toxicology

by Mark L. Witten (Editor), Errol Zeiger (Editor), Glenn David Ritchie (Editor)

Overview

Currently serving as a resource for the National Center for Toxological Research in their work with the Gulf Coast oil spill, this book presents current research conducted primarily by the airforce on the toxic effects of JP-8 jet fuel on the pulmonary, immune, dermal, and nervous systems. In all, the book considers 13 toxicology studies
