Abstract Jet Propellant 8 (JP-8) is a kerosene-based jet fuel used in the military and is composed of hundreds of hydrocarbons. A PBPK model was developed to assess the metabolic interactions of JP-8 vapor on two prominent constituents of JP-8 vapor, m-xylene (XYL) and ethylbenzene (EBZ). A limited number of rats were exposed to JP-8 vapor in a Leach chamber for 4 h to 380, 1100, or 2700 mg/m3 (total hydrocarbon). Several individual hydrocarbons were monitored in the chamber atmosphere, including XYL, EBZ, and the total hydrocarbon concentration. Blood and liver were harvested and analyzed by a novel headspace SPME/GC-MS method that allowed for identification of individual hydrocarbons and low limits of detection. The PBPK model was able to describe the metabolic interactions between XYL, EBZ, and a lumped aromatic fraction of JP-8 vapor estimated to be 18 to 25% of the fuel vapor. Competitive inhibition of XYL and EBZ metabolism was observed for JP-8 vapor inhalation exposures of 1100 and 2700 mg/m3. Future inhalation studies with jet fuel include aerosol exposures and expansion of the PBPK models to include other hydrocarbons such as n-alkanes and upper respiratory tract dosimetry of aerosol droplets.
