Aerosol-Vapor JP-8 Jet Fuel Effects on Behavior, Learning and Memory

United States military personnel, commercial airline pilots, ground crews, aircraft mechanics, and flight line workers have a distinct risk of inhaling jet fuel, particularly the JP-8 fuel that's increasingly popular in military settings. This study will investigate how inhaled jet fuel affects vision, learning, memory, and behavior. It also will investigate whether treatments given after exposure can help to reduce the effects of inhaled jet fuel.
