Mr. W. V. Hartman, Vice President, Gulf Refining Company, Gulf Building, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Dear Mr. Hartman:
-
Vie have for acknowledgment your letter of
September 14t'n, with, attached reppft from/your New York Office,
covering the case of M r C
West Nyack, New York.
is indicatedXfpoaf'your Mr. O'Hara's report
that Mr.
is evidently suffering from some skin malady
caused by his exposur^to-EoNox Et)$y\Gasoline. Exposure of this
sort would in no way/brilpT^hfa^t a conation of lead poisoning but
undoubtedly Mr. | i s w of many individuals who are sus
ceptible to gas<5S!hpburning. |&s you know, gasoline when coming
in contact with t l ^ skin may in -borne individuals cause burning or
even dermatitus, commonly ref'er/ed to in the industry as "wax boils".
During--the"''many years Ethyl Gasoline has been on
the makt we have never had a single case of lead poisoning brought
abouyiy association wit^^&^^^^Gasoline and we are naturally positive
that |ifhe exposure f^f
to No Nox Ethyl Gasoline did not
brina^bout any s/^kness due to tetraethyl lead.
__ We appreciate your calling this matter to our
attention and we hope that you will continue to report any supposed
cases of lead poisoning to us. However, in this case we are quite
sure that the affliction was caused by gasoline and was not caused
in any way by the lead contained therein.
.
Very truly yours,
J. C. Taylor
