An Industrial Hygiene Evaluation of Aircraft Refueling Inside Closed Aircraft Shelters.

Abstract

This report describes and gives the results of an industrial hygiene evaluation of aircraft refueling inside closed TABVEE and third generation aircraft shelters. The primary concern was with breathing zone concentrations of fuel vapors displaced from aircraft fuel tanks during refueling. The major conclusions are that refueling with JP-8 is acceptable under any conditions but that refueling with JP-4 should be conducted only when the ambient temperature is less than 25 C to assure concentrations well below the permissible short term exposure level for fuel vapors.
