Abstract: Experimental StudiesOn the Ef- fect of Ethyl Gasoline and Its Com- bustion Products-This bulletin of 447 pages including 105 pages of appen- dix is replete with tables, graphs, and il- lustrations to complete the text of the extensive studies made at the Pittsburgh Experiment Station of the U. S. Bureau of Mines extending from December 6, 1923, to August, 1925.Part I concerns the psysiological effect of exhaust gases from engines using ethyl gasoline.Part II, the effects of inhalation of unburned vapors from ethyl gasoline and other motor fuels (gasoline-benzol mixtures, straight benzol vapors and various com- binations of ethyl gasoline with these).Part III, deals with skin absorption ex- periments with ethyl gasoline, 50-50 benzol-gasoline blend, benzol, and benzene (c.p.).In this part are also con- sidered inhalation experiments with ani- mals treated with ethyl gasoline and with other mixtures and chemicals above stat- ed.The following are abstracted from the general summary and findings of in- vestigations which appear on pages 14- 28: Part I.
