Potential Health Effects of Gasoline and Its Constituents: A Review of Current Literature (1990-1997) on Toxicological Data

Abstract: We reviewed toxicological studies, both experimental and epidemiological, that appeared in international literature in the period 1990-1997 and induded both leaded and unleaded gasolines as well as their components and additives. The aim of this overview was to select, arrange, and present references of scientific papers published during the period under consideration and to summarize the data in order to give a comprehensive picture ofthe results of toxicological studies performed in laboratory animals (indud… Show more

“…[8][9][10][11] Associations with exposure to certain organic chemicals, pesticides, and radiation have been reported in some, [8][9][10] but not all studies. 12,13 Alcohol use, autoimmune conditions, hair dye use, and genetic disorders (such as Down's syndrome, Fanconi's anemia, Bloom's syndrome, etc) have also been implicated in MDS development. 9,14 The increasing incidence of MDS, possibly due to the aging of the population and greater diagnostic awareness, highlights the need for understanding the etiology of this disease.…”

“…Gasoline exposure is associated with renal and liver cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloma, heart disease and irritant effects (reviewed by Caprino and Togna (1997)). Benzene, which is present in liquid gasoline at much higher concentrations than in diesel fuel and is produced during the combustion of both fuels, is causally associated with AML in occupational groups exposed to relatively high levels (410 PPM or 32 mg/ m 3 ) (Infante et al, 1982;Wong, 1995;Savitz and Andrews, 1997).…”

“…The health consequences of chronic fuel releases at gas stations that can, for example, occur due to ingestion of contaminated groundwater, fuel vapor intrusion from contaminated soil and groundwater into dwellings [60], and atmospheric vapor releases during fuel transfer and storage have not been studied. While limited measurements of ambient concentrations of vapor constituents in communities were identified, literature searches did not identify studies of the health consequences of inhalation exposures to gasoline vapors among community residents [61].…”
