Jet Fuel Toxicology (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Witten, Mark L.; Ritchie, Glenn David; Zeiger, Errol

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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. It examines the history and chemistry involved with the handling of jet fuel, and discusses the impact of exposure. In all, the book considers 13 toxicology studies of significance, the results of which are currently shaping US armed services policy. It will enable all of the hydrocarbon industry to make better choices regarding fuel handling.
