Sensory Irritation Study in Mice: JP-4, JP-8, JP-8+100

Abstract

AFIERA, in concert with Army and Navy colleagues, designed a study based on ASTM's 'Standard Method E 981-84' to characterize and compare the relative potency of three jet fuels to cause respiratory tract sensory irritation. These fuels were JP-4, JP-8 and JP-8 + 100. These fuels were administered for 30 minute periods by means of a head-only exposure system to groups of four male Swiss-Webster mice. Test atmospheres laden with these fuels were presented as vapor-only (JP-4) or as a vapor/aerosol mixtures (JP-8, JP-8 + 100).
