Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Exposure to keosine can cause light hydrocarbon nephropathy in male rats. This male rat specific finding is reagerded as not relevant to human health
Executive summary:

The characteristic nephropathy shown by male rats when exposed to naphtha fractions used in blending gasoline has also been observed with kerosine-type jet fuels. Bruner and Pitts recorded such findings in a 90-day inhalation study with Fischer 344 rats using petroleum-derived jet fuels JP-4 and JP-5 at atmospheric concentrations of 0.15 to 1.0 mg/l. It is accepted that this effect is not relevant for humans.
