D E P A R T M E N T Phil adel phia July 24, 1935 Dr. R. A. Kehoe, Medical Director Ethyl Gas Corp. University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio Dear Sir: It is our understanding you have done considerable re search in connection with the possible health or der matitis hazard from handling ethyl gasoline. I am re ferring particularly to gasoline treated with the ethyl fluid rather than the fluid itself, and if you have any information you can give us in connection with this hazard and suggestions for its control, your advices will be much appreciated. Vie have written the U. S. Department of Labor at Wash ington, and they have sent us a reprint of the March 1926 Labor Review which suggests a definite hazard. If you know of any later reports, kindly advise. Yours very truly SAFETY & RATING DEPARTMENT / RDT KB 012131 CLAIMS PAID BY UNITED STATES BRANCH EXCEED$ I2 0 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0
