Removal of Lead from Gasoline: Technical Considerations
Refiners add tetraethyl lead (TEL) and tetramethyl lead (TML) to gasoline to increase octane. In most situations, adding lead is the least expensive means of providing incremental octane to meet gasoline specifications. At sufficiently high levels, addition of lead can increase octane as much as 10 to 15 control octane numbers (Figure 1). Lead susceptibility (the gasoline’s propensity to increa...
متن کاملThe removal of lead from gasoline: historical and personal reflections.
Tetraethyllead (TEL) was first fabricated for use in gasoline in 1923. Shortly after manufacture began, workers at all three plants began to become floridly psychotic and die. A moratorium on TEL production was put into place, but was lifted in 1926. Between 1926 and 1965, the prevailing consensus was that lead toxicity occurred only at high levels of exposure and that lead in the atmosphere wa...
متن کاملRelation of pediatric blood lead levels to lead in gasoline.
Analysis of a large data set of pediatric blood lead levels collected in New York City (1970-1976) shows a highly significant association between geometric mean blood lead levels and the amount of lead present in gasoline sold during the same period. This association was observed for all age and ethnic groups studied, and it suggests that possible exposure pathways other than ambient air should...
متن کاملElevated Soil Lead: Statistical Modeling and Apportionment of Contributions from Lead-based Paint and Leaded Gasoline
While it is widely accepted that lead-based paint and leaded gasoline are primary sources of elevated concentrations of lead in residential soils, conclusions regarding their relative contributions are mixed and generally study specific. We develop a novel nonlinear regression for soil lead concentrations over time. It is argued that this methodology provides useful insights into the partitioni...
متن کاملRegular Minimizers of Some Free Discontinuity Problems
We show that minimizers of free discontinuity problems with energy dependent on jump integrals and Dirichlet boundary conditions are smooth provided a smallness condition is imposed on data. We examine several examples, including elastic-plastic beam and plate with free yield lines and deformable body with free damage. In all cases there is a gap between the condition for solvability (safe load...
