Dear Dr, Kehoe:
. IwWish to recall myself to you. You will
probably remember meeting me on the Dye Works more than a year
ago, I am still with the du Pont Company attached to The
Grasselli Chemical Company in East Chicago, Indiana, At this
Plant we have a lead problem. We manufacture Arsenate of Lead
which is, as yo u probably know, one of the numerous
insecticides. One of our cases who has shown no evidence either
clinically or by reduction of Haemoglobin, red blood cells or
the presence of stippled cells of having lead absorption has
for some weeks been complaining of weakness, and dizziness.
The University of Chicago found no evidence of illness and no
cause for these symptoms other than the presence of what they
termed an abnormal amount of lead in the urine. They used,
apparently, the chromate method described in the monograph on
lead poisoning.
'
I -would like to have you r u n an analysis on a 24 hour specimen and a specimen of feces similar to those,that you made on the men in the Tetra Ethyl operation. I will begin collection of these specimens the end of this week and if you can do this for me I will forward them immediately. Any expense connected with this analysis, of course will be borne by us.
Very truly yours,
THE GRASSELLI CHEMICAL COMPAMY
