In general, short-term exposure to exhaust can cause
irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, headaches, lightheadedness,
dizziness, and chest tightness. Long– term
exposure to exhaust can aggravate heart or lung function
causing bronchitis or asthma. For those exposed over
months or years, exposure may also increase risk of heart
disease and cancer.

My recent denial for COPD says that JP-5 could not cause respiratory problems. I was exposed daily for 3 1/2 years.
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) shows that Jp-5 and other jet fuels can cause chronic respiratory disease.

Excerpt:
Inhalation : May cause nose, throat, and lung irritation. Central nervous system (brain)
effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination,
unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure, and death. Burning any hydrocarbon
as a fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result in hazardous levels
of combustion products, including carbon monoxide, and inadequate oxygen
levels, which may cause unconsciousness, suffocation, and death.
Chronic exposure Similar products produced skin cancer and systemic toxicity in laboratory
animals following repeated applications. The significance of these results to
human exposures has not been determined - see Section 11 Toxicological
Information.
Target Organs : Respiratory system, Eyes, Skin, and Irritation from skin exposure may aggravate
existing open skin wounds, skin disorders, and dermatitis conditions. Chronic
respiratory, cardiovascular, and liver disease may be aggravated by exposure.

Service connection related to exposure to various fuels is always going to be a problem. The reason is simple. A very large number of veterans have exposure of one kind or another, and varying amount
