3.48 In contrast to these comments, Dr Jean Christophe Balouet told the inquiry on 13 March 2000:
… evidence presented to this committee suggests that covering the entire surface of the body with oil would not be hazardous. This may be the case for a mineral oil but not for a synthetic oil containing toxic ingredients.51
3.49 On 24 February 2000, Mobil Oil Australia replied to a series of questions put to the company by Associate Professor Winder. The following are excerpts from the response by Mobil Oil to Dr Winder’s inquiry, a copy of which was supplied to the inquiry:
From the historical literature, the reported symptoms from exposure to TCP consist of transient gastrointestinal complaints followed some days or weeks later by a progressively developing "dying back" neuropathy starting in the feet and migrating upward toward the hips; in some cases the hands are affected and paralysis migrates upward toward the elbows. This neuropathy is often referred to as organophosphate induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN). There have been upwards of 60,000 human poisonings from TCP with remarkable similar symptomatology and neuropathology. We do not believe that other human toxic effects are produced by TCP whether the exposure is acute, subacute or chronic. …
In summary, we do not believe that any of the symptoms, reported by individuals claiming to have been exposed to mists or odours of Mobil Jet Oil 11, were caused by exposure to the oil or any of its components. Neurological effects claimed to occur from low-level chronic exposure, or

cumulative effects from multiple exposures, are strictly anecdotal and are not supported by concurrent documentation of exposure or of biochemical, or pathological effects known to be produced in humans by TCP. In the absence of proven exposure and recognisable toxicologic sequelae known to be related to TCP, the allegations appear to be simply unfounded speculation. …
We believe that the toxicity of Jet Oil 11 would not be altered by reduced pressure or oxygen level - however, this would not necessarily be true of pyrolysis or combustion products of the oil. …
The more frequent symptoms, i.e. disorientation, blurred vision, impaired memory, altered coordination, nausea, loss of balance, headache, dizziness, increased heart rate, loss of consciousness, shortness of breath.... are consistent with hypoxia. 1 suggest that hypoxia might result from one or more of the following: low oxygen level, presence of carbon monoxide, elevated oxygen demand possibly resulting from increased muscular activity and/or hyperventilation possibly aggravated by high carbon dioxide levels and stress from lack of sleep.
Mobil's turbine oils are designed to meet appropriate standards for engine performance, safety and product stewardship. Our risk assessments define the conditions under which we consider Jet Oil 11 to be of negligible risk through inhalation, dermal and ingestion exposure. That information has been provided to our customers and is available publicly through our published papers in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. Based on the results of this research, we believe Jet Oil 11 is of negligible risk to maintenance workers, passengers, and flight staff potentially exposed to an oil vapour or mist. … 52
