The exhaust gases from automobiles carry many poisons. Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are the commonest. (There are, however, many poisonous ‘hydrocarbon acids and salts carried ‘ out by them which have not been studied. These poisonous gases do not often get into the system in sufficient quantities to cause death or direct! sickness, but the cumulative effects, of I inhaling even minute quantities result) in a serious undermining of the public;I health. Many of the headaches and! neuralgic pains people who use the city streets much suffer from ore some of the effects of the inhaling af auto, mobile exhoust gases. 'dust. These metals and the oil carry :many by-products of the exhaust igases from the cylinders. Included in lthese products are carbonyls of the Ymetals, sulphides, sulphates and many hydro-carbon poisons. These, besides irritating the mucous membranes, ap-,' pear directly to poison the human sys-l "ettt and bring on many psychic' trauma or strains. l i It has been demonstrated that fa- tigue may be caused by substances carrying hydrogen ions such as carbon dioxide or potassium dihydrogen phos- phates, by phenol and similar chemi- cals, carbonic and sulphuric acids and salts. Automobile exhausts, and the oils, greases and other matter dis, charged by them into the streets may, carry some or all of these fatigue..' causing substances and many others. These constitute a new danger to city life and are a prolifhs source of sick-, noes. The dust formed by automobiles dif- fers from other dust because of the large number of metallic particles it contains and the oil and other waste products it carries.
