Let me bring you up to date: FIRST, the Senate hearings on S. 3060 (to amend the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act, in part by setting an arbitrary 0.06% lead level in paints) have been reicheduled.

In general, the value of 1.5 mg. per 10 Cubic Meters of air is accepted by the majority of persons as representing the magnitude of concentration that has been found not to product any significant evidence of lead poisoning.

This sir-ply means that there la no significant lead exposure associated with the handling of g soline which contains tetraethyl load in the commercial quantities employed in the United States, lb means* furthermore* that -persons who are exposed to exhaust gases do not show significant, evidence of lead absorption even though they may at times develop evidence of carbon monoxide absorption* The interpretation of this in berms of the effects on pilots or passengers in airplanes is that there is no danger from the point of view of load poisoning.

The taste is for white or pastel colored paint and these shades not being procurable in roofing paints the question arises of the danger of lead poisoning present in outside white paint.

Regardless of the answers to these, questions certain hygienic problems, arise in connection with the preliminary experimental work which Wakefield proposes to undertake* and also in the future preparation of a product for market Any :stetho& of handling or, using tetraethyl lead must in influenced. fey a knowledge of its physiological behavior* and for this reason 1 am attaching to this letter two reprints which give the available facts as to the be havior of this compound* Particular attention should b called to three facts*-- (1) that the vapor pressure of tetraethyl lead* at ordinary temperatures Is such* that air saturated at such temperatures contains approximately 5 milligrams ..of, lend her literj a. concentration of tetraethyl lead which causes fell death of rabbits after two hours of continuous exposure} (2) that tetraethyl lead is absorbed directly through the unbroken skins (3) that when tetraethyl load Is absorbed Into the body at a rat which will not pro duce Immediate illness* it tends to accumlafe In the tissues and to produce chronic lead poisoning after the manner of other load co pounds.

I should say, also that in my viow, the combined mechanisms of an incomplete recovery from lead poisoning, and the additional toxic effect of other disease prodess, including infections are very likely to be much more subtle than that represented by gross changes in the distribution of lead in the body.

K 0003596 You are quite right in believing that in my opinion the quantities of lead reported in the urine samples examined at ttie Buffalo Hospital contain impossibly high results* Bven in the most acute cases of lead poisoning and under conditions of the most serious exposure, we rarely find quantities of lead in excess of 3 milligrams per liter* Values above this level are suspicious even in serious cases, and in a case of the type in question, here the exposure is only known to be very slight Indeed, such figures are ell-nigh impossible, and are quite beyond the range encountered in my experience It would be expected that any man whose urine contained such quantities of lead would be acutely ill and that he would show many of the other characteristics of acute toxemia, including the presence of considerable numbers of stippled ells in his blood* You may be interested in knowing that the recent samples sent in by Dr.
