What I'm finding online is, if you do a search for long term jet fuel exposure health hazards, you might not always find very much current documented proof/information, but I am finding more by being more specific about whatever the illness/es is/are you might have, and try and research Jet Fuel JP4,5,8 hazards/toxins and what part of the body they can affect, and how. The Central Nervous System can be affected by inhaling JP8, even at a moderate level from what I'm finding, if the inhalation exposure is over a prolonged period of time, like months/years. I'm just scratching the surface of what is out there, and though I've handled JP4,5, diesel, mogas(regular gasoline) as well, my main focus has been JP8 since I was around that a whole lot more over 21 years.

in combat areas JP5 was used instead of diesel. during the vietnam war diesel powered ships and boats used JP5 in transit after they left US ports going to vietnam. and in vietnam. JP5 will run a diesel engine just fine as long as a small amount of lube oil to the JP5. so if you had to add lube oil to your fuel this means that it was JP5.
