The use of fossil fuels in aircraft over the last few decades has driven several studies on health effects due to occupational exposure. Relatively recently, alternative fuel types have emerged, but their implications on the health of exposed workers have not attracted proportional attention. In our paper, we review both academic and gray literature about the health risks related to exposure to jet and alternative fuels. The literature suggests that, although the health effects on workers exposed to conventional fuels are concerning, there is no universally accepted dose–response relationship. The limited current research with animals on alternative fuels indicates that these fuels have not resulted in a reduction of health risks. Overall, it seems that, while aviation fuels are tested for efficiency and lower emissions, studies on health impacts in an occupational context have not been a priority. As occupational exposure to aviation fuels might increase due to the growth of the aviation industry, it is essential to conduct further research on the effects of exposures to both conventional and alternative aviation fuels and ensure that the latter do not pose the same risks or even greater ones than those of conventional fuels.

常规和替代航空燃料：职业接触和健康影响

过去几十年来，在飞机上使用化石燃料已经推动了几项关于由于职业暴露而对健康产生影响的研究。相对较新的替代燃料类型已经出现，但是它们对裸露工人健康的影响尚未引起应有的关注。在我们的论文中，我们回顾了有关与喷气燃料和代用燃料接触有关的健康风险的学术和灰色文献。文献表明，尽管考虑到对使用传统燃料的工人的健康影响，但尚没有普遍接受的剂量反应关系。目前动物对替代燃料的有限研究表明，这些燃料并未降低健康风险。总体而言，尽管航空燃料已经过效率和更低排放的测试，在职业背景下对健康影响的研究尚未成为优先事项。由于航空业的发展，职业接触航空燃料的可能性可能会增加，因此有必要对传统航空燃料和替代航空燃料的接触影响进行进一步研究，并确保后者不会带来相同或更大的风险。比传统的燃料。
