. `(9) Furthermore, one has especially been considering the damages caused by engine exhaust fumes, which are inhaled especially in some occupations, but also generally in< our big cities and main traffic routes. (10) Until now, though, it has not proven likely that increased inhalation of such gases would lead to an increase of lung cancer. (11) Opposed to this are the experiments done by Schmidtmann, opposed also is the fact that country and city pollution take part in the increase of lung cancer equally and the people working in occupations with combustion engines do not get sick exceptionally often. (12) Likewise, the fact that males are affected^ oy lung cancer more often than females does not support the idea that this cancer is normally caused by exhaust fumes, since both sexes are exposed to them to almost the same extent. (13) The marked predominance of males with lung cancer (in our material 6 times more men than women) rather suggests internal influences over the development; however, there is another external influence, which man is much more subject to, than women: smoking. (14) It has been mentioned occasionally that there is a strong interrelation between, the increase of the tobacco consumption and the increase of lung cancer. (15) Above all, this assumption is supported by the results of experimental cancer research. (16) Roffo amongst others succeeded in producing cancer by applying tar obtained from tobacco. (17) Roffo also was able to identify the heavily carcinogenic bensopyrene in tar. (18) Since from cigarette tobacco, which a heavy smoker consumes in ten years, 4 kg. or tar can be extracted, it is understandable that by this considerable damages of the epithelia of the airways may occur, especially if the smoke is inhaled. 85869549 2 (19) But also on the clinical side, the attempt was made to prove the connections between tobacco consumption and lung cancer. (20) Muller registered the tobacco consumption in 86 male lung cancer patients during a certain period of time, in comparison to 86 healthy men of the same age. (21) The figures reveal that a much larger portion of the lung eaneer patients ware heavier smokers than one might expect, whereas on the contrary, the non-smokers or moderate smokers were more highly represented in the comparative lot than amongst the lung cancer patients. (22) Muller concludes from that, that the increase of lung cancer is at least to a considerable extent caused by an increase of tobacco consumption. (23) These data by Miller seem very significant to us concerning the problem of lung carcinoma. (24) But we regarded further investigation as necessary, to prove their general validity. (25) From the material of the Institute of Pathology in Jena as well, we found, as Berblinger earlier, a considerable absolute and relative increase of lung cancer, whereas for instance stomach cancer did not show a relative increase. (26) He derived Table 1 from a thesis by Uustner; from this follows the increase of lung cancer during the years 1910-1939 which also stayed the same in the war years 1941. (27) The ratio of the number of'broncial carcinoma compared to the reduced number of dissections was in 1949 3.611 in 1941, 2.951.

Schairer and E. 4) Received on August 27 1943 5 The significant increase of lung cancer has been an observed fact again and again since 1920. 6 The course of the increase is suspected in numerous circumstances by various authors suspected it mainly in certain kinds of air pollutions 7 One 8 We have to mention here that lung carcinoma caused by industrial damage which like the Schneeberg lung carcinoma the chromate cancer and asbestos cancer is acknowledged as an occupational disease 9 Furthermore one has especially been considering the damages caused by angine exhaust fumes which are inhaled especially in some 10 occupations routes but also generally in our big cities and main traffic Until now though it has not proven likely that increased inhalation of such gases would lead to an increase of lung cancer 11 Opposetdo this are the experiments done by Schmidtmann opposed also is the fact that country and city pollution take part in the increase of lung cancer equally and the people working in occupations with combustion engines do not get exceptionally sick affected females exceptionaly often 12 Likewise by lung cancer more often than the fact that males are does not support the idea that this cancer is normally caused by exhaust fumes since both sexes are exposed to them to almost the same extent 13 The marked predominance of males with lung cancer in our material 6 times more men than women rather suggests internal influences over the development however there is another external influence which man is much more subject to than women smoking 14 It has been mentioned occasionally that there is a strong interrelation between the increase of the tobacco consumption and the increase of lung cancer 15 Above all this assumption is supported by the results of experimental cancer research 16 Roffo amongst others succeedeidn producing cancer by applying tar obtained from tobacco 17 Roffo also was able to .
