Jet fuel intoxication and acute renal failure

Jet Fuel is a complex blend of paraffinic, olefinic, naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are organic substances that con­tain carbon and hydrogen and they are liquid at room temperature. With the exception of aro­matic and halogenated compounds, most hydro­carbons are poorly absorbed through the gastro­intestinal tract and cause clinical toxicity only when aspirated or inhaled.
