Tetraethyl Lead.

Accordingly, AK-33X was s u b jected to exhaustive road and laboratory tests as a supplement to tetraethyl lead.

It Is estimated that the industry will be able to produce approximately 550 million pounds of tetraethyl lead per year, coopered *lth LOO million pounds in 1951, This represents an increase is capacity of J7^ percent, end probably is sufficient capacity to take care of any foreseen demands for the not several years* Allowing that there *111 be sufficient tetraethyl lead capacity for the future, and there Is good meson to aerate that the doomed for tetraethyl le^ mill Increase, whet does this mean in toms of pig lead constsptlon for the nest several years In order to make an estimate of the pig lead required by the tetraethyl lead industry, it is necessary for us to forsesst the amenrit of gasoline which is to be consumed, the average octane quality of that gasollm, and tho amount of tetraethyl load *ttch is to be need per gallon.

Tetraethyl load in automobile and aeronautical fuels is burned to inorganic lead compounds, and it is not possible to find tetraethyl lead as such in the atmosphere cf urban centers in which traffic is dense.

The two points at which It seems to me trouble might well occur, have to do with possible volatility of tetraethyl lead in lubricating oil and the possibility of skin absorption of tetraethyl lead out of lubricating oil.

However, in the quantities in which tetraethyl lead appears in gasoline, there are at present no Indications that the tetraethyl lead adds in any way to the toxicity of the gasoline.

D. 0010431 INTERPRETATION AND COMMENT The samples were so chosen and analysed as to portray. i possible, (1) the influence of external contamination of the hose with tetraethyl lead; (2) the extent of the penetration of tetraethyl lead into and through the rubber, thereby giving rise to contamination of the interior surface {and air passing through}; {3} the extent of the contamination of the inside of the hose at the \\ noint of the break.in its structure; and (4) the extant of deposits of particulate load (decomposition products of tetraethyl lead and/or other possible compounds of lead in particulate form) on tho outside and the inside of the hose.
