My purpose in the article cited was only tc point out that when one administers lead chloride or lead acetate (dissolved in water) intravenously, the mortality among experimental animals corresponds to that which results from the intravenous Injection of a corresponding quantity of lead as lead tetraethyl.

LEAD CONT.

Lead is lost from the body following the termination of any period of unusual (as occupational) exposure to lead.

This situation is the result not of the unimportant and theoretical lead exposures that involve the public, but rather because there Is a gross increase in the handling of lead compounds in industry under conditionswhich lead to extensive exposure.

It may replace the basic sulfate white lead content of multiple pigment paints, whether the basic lead sulfate is present as such or as a component of leaded zinc oxide.

On must not forget* In this connection* however* that fchdre have been more than ten years of experience in this country, without a single case of load poisoning or demonstrable lead absorption aa.a consequence of the handling and U3 of leaded gasoline* Th history of exposure to leaded gasolene* therefor* dannot be regarded as a significant Item in a diagnosis* Bather th diagnosis must be established.

Cole ^-International Lead Zinc Research Organization SUBJECT: rences on Childhood Lead Poisoning We have looked carefully at the publication on the highlights of the mid-West and Eastern conferences on childhood lead poisoning and aside from the one reference to the lead-gasoline issue by Dr.

In other words, tetraethyl lead poisoning is different in its characteris tics from inorganic lead poisoning,and the clinical picture is so different, in fact, that the usual type of illness from the absorption of inorganic lead is not seen following absorption of tetraethyl lead.

In view of the very large number of vascular lesions which are attributed to the effects of lead, X| v/ould hesitate to say that coronary occlusion could not be induced by an episode of lead poisoning.

A small quantity of lead Is normal for the animal organsim,ln fact it is impossible, so far as we have been able to discover, to avoid contact with lead compounds since very many staple food materials contain minute quantities of lead.
