> As a clarification may we say that 1% of the TPH (total petroleum
> hydrocarbon) volume of JP-5 jetfuel is benzene.

> On an added note, the `E' in BTEX stands for ethylbenzene. This
> constituent of jetfuel is known to be moderately water soluble and volatile.
> It has a biochemical decay coefficient identical to benzene and has been
> classified as a priority pollutant by the USEPA. The risk to human health
> in regards to water and fish ingestion is expressed as moderately high for
> ethylbenzene and moderate for benzene and very high for toluene.

> According to 33 USCA (US Code Annotated) section 1317 of the Clean Water
> Act, "Such published effluent standard shall take into acct the toxicity
> of the pollutant, its persistence, degradability" and etc. Subsection (3):
> Each such effluent standard shall be reviewed and if appropriate, revised
> every three years. Section 134 : Permits for discharge of pollutants.
> The administrator may after opportunity for public hearing, issue a permit
