This study is an industrial hygiene evaluation of F-16 aircraft refueling in closed first generation hardened aircraft shelters; it supplements BEES(W) Technical Reports 81-03 and 81-42. The primary concern is with breathing zone concentrations of fuel vapors displaced from the aircraft fuel tanks during refueling. In-shelter F-16 integrated combat turns are also assessed. The major conclusion is that in-shelter F-16 refueling can be performed without limitation. For the case of integrated combat turns, short term exposure limits to carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and nitric oxide are not exceeded but full workday average carbon monoxide exposure is a potential limitation that requires further study.
