Magnetic resonance imaging, 28(7), 1030-1048 (2010-07-29)
The toxicity of jet fuels was measured using noninvasive magnetic resonance microimaging (MRM) at 900-MHz magnetic field. The hypothesis was that MRM can visualize and measure the epidermis exfoliation and hair follicle size of rat skin tissue due to toxic

Toxicology, 175(1-3), 35-47 (2002-06-07)
Jet A and JP-8 are the major jet fuels used in civilian and military (US Air Force) flights, respectively. JP-8+100 is a new jet fuel recently introduced by US Air Force in some of its locations. The purpose of this

Environmental science & technology, 46(11), 6393-6400 (2012-04-27)
We report on the particulate-bound polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the exhaust of a test-bed gas turbine engine when powered by Jet A-1 aviation fuel and a number of alternative fuels: Sasol fully synthetic jet fuel (FSJF), Shell gas-to-liquid (GTL)
J V Rogers et al.
Journal of applied toxicology : JAT, 21(6), 521-525 (2001-12-18)
Dermal absorption of JP-8 jet fuel can lead to skin irritation within hours after exposure. This study detected the formation of oxidative species and low-molecular-weight DNA in rat skin as potential indicators of JP-8-induced skin injury. At 0, 1, 2
Gerardo Ramos et al.
Toxicological sciences : an official journal of the Society of Toxicology, 100(2), 415-422 (2007-09-25)
Dermal exposure to military (JP-8) and/or commercial (Jet-A) jet fuel suppresses cell-mediated immune reactions. Immune regulatory cytokines and biological modifiers, including platelet activating factor (PAF), prostaglandin E(2), and interleukin-10, have been implicated in the pathway of events leading to immune
