Organophosphate and Amine Contamination of Cockpit Air in the Hawk, F-111 and C-130 Aircraft

摘要: Abstract : A survey of cockpit air contamination by organophosphates and amines in the Hawk, F-111 Hercules C-130 aircraft was undertaken. The occurred via engine bleed supply. source tricresyl phosphates, pheny-alpha-naphthylamine diotyldiphenylamine jet oil while hydraulic fluids are suspected contributing to presence trialkyl phosphates. concentrations all contaminants measured were generally very low. Tricresyl phosphate below 4 mug/m3 with two exceptions (21.7, 49 mug/m3, Hawk) compared maximum permissible (100 mug/m3). Ground starts, at high power, gave rise highest concentrations. Phenyl-alpha-naphthylamine dioctyldiphenylamine also low (<0.06 mug/m3) absence exposure limits for compounds reflects on their apparent toxicity.
