DR. F. CURTIS DOHAN 221 MALONEY CLINIC BUILDING HOSPITAL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA 36t h AND SPRUCE STREETS PHILADELPHIA 4 July 11, 1962 Dr. Robert A. 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 my best thanks. Sincerely yours. FCD:m F. Curtis Dohan, M.D 0015321
