MWN m. ALSO KAI '1'0 COPE WITH POISON CAI

 

A special committee of the New
York Academy of Medicine has just
made available the results of a study
of cases of poisoning from carbon

The quality of gasoline varies in
different parts at this country. but
all of it contains material which
combine with the oxygen of the air
to yield combinations of carbon and
0113011.

One hundred per cent combustion
of the carbon-hydrogen combina-
tions in gasoline is not obtained even
with the best possible adjustment of
the carbureter and perfect timing of
spark.

Depending largely on the care
with which the carburetor is adjust-
ed. the amount of carbon monoxid
exhaust gas may very from 10 per
cent by volume to 18 per cent. or
even more. '

Smell Cars. Too.

According to the studies made in
New York. even small cars produce
as much as one cubic foot ot carbon
monoxid per minute. while larger
. trucks produce
much more.

This poisonous gas is Aischsrged
at the rear of the automobile. about
fifteen inches above the ground. end
has practically the same density as
air. There .is little tendency for it
to rise or to settle to the pavement.

In New York City. studies were
made to find out just what happens
to this gas. As a result ot observa-
tions made on a Ford car. it was
found that the gas is distributed in a
cone shape space which spreads out
so that the head ot a person of aver-
age height. standing a few feet back
of the car. was surrounded by an
atmosphero containing from four to

 

0

six parts 0! monoxid gas to 10.000
of air.

it the car is traveling about ten
miles per hour. the '1th I'll II
elongated. and a car following to
test behind would be surrounded by‘
eahaust gee diluted to one or two
parts of mouoxid gas to 10.000 0! air.

The gas tends to hang in the
street in a layer of from five to ten.
or at most 15 feet deep. Naturally
if the wind is brisk. the gas h more
{Iapidly disseminated. Most serious

the gas trom large motor bueses.
because the amount of carbon mo-
noxid is greater. '

Scientific evidence as to the effects
of varying concentrations of-ges on
health is not at this time available.
Crossing policemen and others who
work constantly on the streets
sometimes complain ogsymptoms
which may be due to the breathing
of small quantities of the gas.

Contamination

There is no question whatever
that the increase in the number of
cars. particularly of trucks and

basses. may produce serious con-
tamination of the air. in garages
and repne- shops. the probiem‘ls
much more serious. Numerous

deaths have been reported from the
running of motor cars in closed
garages or poorly ventilated repair
shops. Forced ventilation is abso-
lutely necessary t

Much can be accomplished with
this problem by insuring a proper
adjustment of the carbureter. an.
chemists are already at work on the
question of control devices that will
eliminate the possibility of the die-
semination of carbon monoxid gas
from the exhaust pipe.
