{"product_id":"jet-fuel-toxicology","title":"Jet Fuel Toxicology","description":"Currently serving as a resource for the National Center for Toxological Researchin 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. 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.Due to its widespread use, jet fuel is thought to be the largest toxicant exposure risk for U.S. Armed Services personnel. Taking a proactive approach to the potential dangers of repeated human exposure to hydrocarbon fuels, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) sponsored a number of research projects during the last 20 years investigating health effects resulting from specific exposure to JP-8 (Jet Propellant-8). Jet Fuel Toxicologysummarizes the newest and most important results of these extensive research programs carried out by hydrocarbon fuel research groups throughout the U.S. Each book chapter highlights one specific research area from the many topical areas comprising jet fuel toxicology. After examining the contents and general action of JP-8, the book looks at how the fuel affects various body functions highlighted by: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Effects on daily inhalation on the respiratory system\u003cbr\u003eAcute and long-term neurotoxicological and neurobehavioral effects \u003cbr\u003eBoth local and systemic toxicity following exposure through the skin\u003cbr\u003eImmunotoxicity from pulmonary and dermal exposures\u003cbr\u003eGenetic damage, as evidenced in studies of the blood and bone marrow of mice \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003eIn all, the book considers 13 major toxicology areas of study, the results of which will enable all of the hydrocarbon industry to make","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44556703006958,"sku":"9780367383763","price":104.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780367383763.jpg?v=1703553120","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/jet-fuel-toxicology","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
