A study of workers exposed to jet fuel propellant 8 (JP-8) was conducted at U.S. Air Force bases and included the evaluation of three biomarkers of exposure: S-benzylmercapturic acid (BMA), S-phenylmercapturic acid (PMA), and (2-methoxyethoxy)acetic acid (MEAA). Postshift urine specimens were collected from various personnel categorized as high (n = 98), moderate (n = 38) and low (n = 61) JP-8 exposure based on work activities. BMA and PMA urinary levels were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), and MEAA urinary levels were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The numbers of samples determined as positive for the presence of the BMA biomarker (above the test method's limit of detection [LOD = 0.5 ng/ml]) were 96 (98.0%), 37 (97.4%), and 58 (95.1%) for the high, moderate, and low (control) exposure workgroup categories, respectively. The numbers of samples determined as positive for the presence of the PMA biomarker (LOD = 0.5 ng/ml) were 33 (33.7%), 9 (23.7%), and 12 (19.7%) for the high, moderate, and low exposure categories. The numbers of samples determined as positive for the presence of the MEAA biomarker (LOD = 0.1 μ g/ml) were 92 (93.4%), 13 (34.2%), and 2 (3.3%) for the high, moderate, and low exposure categories. Statistical analysis of the mean levels of the analytes demonstrated MEAA to be the most accurate or appropriate biomarker for JP-8 exposure using urinary concentrations either adjusted or not adjusted for creatinine; mean levels of BMA and PMA were not statistically significant between workgroup categories after adjusting for creatinine.

在美国空军基地对暴露于喷气燃料推进剂8 (JP-8) 的工人进行了一项研究,其中包括对三种暴露生物标志物的评估: S-苄基巯基乙酸 (BMA),S-苯基巯基乙酸 (PMA),和 (2-甲氧基乙氧基) 乙酸 (MEAA)。移位后尿液标本来自分类为高 (n = 98) 的各种人员,基于工作活动的中等 (n = 38) 和低 (n = 61) JP-8暴露。通过高效液相色谱-串联质谱法 (hplc-ms/MS) 测定BMA和PMA尿水平,用气相色谱-质谱法 (gc-ms) 测定MEAA尿水平,经测定为BMA生物标志物阳性 (高于检测方法的检出限 [LOD = 0.5 ng/ml]) 的样品数为96 (98.0%),高、中、低 (对照) 暴露工作组类别分别为37 (97.4%) 和58 (95.1%)。对于PMA生物标志物 (LOD = 0.5 ng/ml) 的存在,被确定为阳性的样品数量为33 (33.7%),9 (23.7%),高、中、低暴露类别的12 (19.7%)。对于MEAA生物标志物 (LOD = 0.1 μ g/ml) 的存在,被确定为阳性的样品数量分别为92 (93.4%) 、13 (34.2%) 和2 (3.3%) 的高,中度和低暴露类别。对分析物平均水平的统计分析表明,MEAA是使用尿浓度调整或未调整肌酐的最准确或最合适的JP-8暴露生物标志物; 调整肌酐后,研究组类别之间的BMA和PMA的平均水平无统计学意义。
