由于喷气燃料在军事和民用人群中是一种常见的职业接触,这项研究是为了描述现役美国空军人员中喷气燃料(JP8)的暴露特征。人员(n=24)先验地被分成高、中、低暴露组。每名工人连续3天(72个工作日)收集问卷和个人空气样本(呼吸区),并分析总烃(THC)、苯、甲苯、乙苯、二甲苯和萘。从燃料箱内部收集空气样本,并对相同的分析物进行分析。使用线性混合效应模型对暴露数据进行评估。我们的结果表明,在先验的高暴露组和中等暴露组的组合中,THC(JP8吸入总暴露的一种衡量标准)与所有其他分析物的相关性是中等到强烈的。吸入暴露于所有分析物的情况因以下因素而有显著差异:自我报告的JP8暴露(在报告暴露于JP8的工人中,THC水平较高)、先验暴露组(高、中、低组的THC水平)以及更具体的工作任务组(燃料系统机库组、加油维护组、燃料系统办公室组、燃料处理组、诊所组),其中任务组解释了工人之间最大的变异性。在高度暴露的工人中,与吸入接触THC有关的显著工作任务预测指标表明,在机库中工作的时间增加,靠近燃料箱工作(内部小于25英尺,大于25英尺),主要工作(进入机库的服务员/跑步者/机库外的人员),以及在燃料箱附近执行各种任务,如寻找泄漏,会导致更高的JP8暴露。这项研究表明,虽然先验暴露组在区分JP8暴露水平方面是有用的,但在流行病学研究设计中应考虑基于工作任务的类别,以改进暴露分类。最后,THC与萘的强相关性表明,萘可能是JP8暴露的一个合适的替代品。[补充材料可供本文参考。请访问出版商在线版的《职业与环境卫生杂志》,获取以下免费补充资源:包含详细说明JP8成分浓度的表格的pdf文件。]
As jet fuel is a common occupational exposure among military and civilian populations, this study was conducted to characterize jet fuel (JP8) exposure among active duty U.S. Air Force personnel. Personnel (n = 24) were divided a priori into high, moderate, and low exposure groups. Questionnaires and personal air samples (breathing zone) were collected from each worker over 3 consecutive days (72 worker-days) and analyzed for total hydrocarbons (THC), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and naphthalene. Air samples were collected from inside the fuel tank and analyzed for the same analytes. Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate the exposure data. Our results show that the correlation of THC (a measure of overall JP8 inhalation exposure) with all other analytes was moderate to strong in the a priori high and moderate exposure groups combined. Inhalation exposure to all analytes varied significantly by self-reported JP8 exposure (THC levels higher among workers reporting JP8 exposure), a priori exposure group (THC levels in high group > moderate group > low group), and more specific job task groupings (THC levels among workers in fuel systems hangar group > refueling maintenance group > fuel systems office group > fuel handling group > clinic group), with task groupings explaining the most between-worker variability. Among highly exposed workers, statistically significant job task-related predictors of inhalation exposure to THC indicated that increased time in the hangar, working close to the fuel tank (inside > less than 25 ft > greater than 25 ft), primary job (entrant > attendant/runner/fireguard > outside hangar), and performing various tasks near the fuel tank, such as searching for a leak, resulted in higher JP8 exposure. This study shows that while a priori exposure groups were useful in distinguishing JP8 exposure levels, job task-based categories should be considered in epidemiologic study designs to improve exposure classification. Finally, the strong correlation of THC with naphthalene suggests that naphthalene may be an appropriate surrogate of JP8 exposure. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.
