Kehoe University of Cincinnati Department of Preventive Medicine and Industrial Health The Kettering laboratory Eden Avenue Cincinnati 19, Ohio Dear Dr. Kehoe: Thank you for your thoughtful comments on my questions concerning the man who alleged that he swallowed leaded gasoline. Could you supply me with a few references on the effects of the ingestion of tetraethyllead, and its metabolism? We wondered if the tetraethyllead molecule might be de-ethyleated in the gut tract or the liver with consequent production of inorganic lead. Again m y best thanks. Sincerely yours, FCD:m F.
