I've been doing some web searches and there is no reported evidence that exposure to JP-4 can cause long term health problems.
I have had had direct skin exposure to the fuel and breathed it in as jet exhaust.
How there can possibly be no link?
The very same searches say that exposure to 100 parts per million can cause problems.
Will be investigating this further as part of the seminar on May 14th.
There is a specific talk for veterans.
Hello Andy, I'm Ed, I served in the early 80's, I was exposed to JP-8 via skin absorption and vapor/exhaust inhalation. I am now dealing with lung and liver cancer, bone and muscle degeneration, and misc. aches, pains and cramps.
ReplyDeleteMy V.A. Oncologist said he would green light a medical letter to the Am. Vets. Assoc. for considerations in a claim. I have found the phrase, "IT IS AS LIKELY AS NOT that" and I feel as though there are a few more similar that I should know. I also need several claims that have been approved to vouch for my claim as a composite for validity "Body of Proof" for my claim agent to push the claim through. Can you help me in finding or providing this evidence, My doctor's believe I have only a year or so left and I would like to get the highest percentage of disability possible.
Thank You...
I would like to help but I never proved anything.
ReplyDeleteMy doctors made the statement that they felt it was too long from my exposure to be the culprit.
