Toxicity of High Density Jet Fuel Components

Abstract

Two constituents of a synthetic jet engine fuel were evaluated for toxicologic effects. These constituents of JP-9 fuel were perhydromethylcyclopentadiene (RJ-4) and bicycloheptadiene (RJ-5). Excess tumor lesions over control levels were seen in a small number of rats and mice held for a one year observation period following six months repeated daily inhalation exposures to RJ-5.
