To characterize occupational exposures to carcinogenic chemicals in flight line personnel, nitrated
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) were determined in JP-4 fueled aircraft emissions
both from F-15J and C-130H by using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry with
negative ion chemical ionization. We determined three nitro-PAHs, 1-nitronaphthalene,
2-nitronaphthalene and 9-nitroanthracene, which were not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans
by International Agency for Research on Cancer. There was no carcinogenic nitro-PAH in the
emissions. The concentrations of both nitronaphthalenes in the emissions were over 6 times higher
in the C-130H than the F-15J.
