| Abstract: | The acute toxicity of a variety of Air Force jet fuels was evaluated for several terrestrial insects. The most toxic fuel was a shale-derived JP-8. In general, shale fuels were more toxic than their petroleum-derived counterparts. The order of decreasing susceptibility to the current standard Air Force fuel, petroleum-derived JP-4, was earwigs, rice weevils, flour beetles, lady beetles, tenebrionid beetles, and cockroaches. However, species response varied with different jet fuel types. |
