The fascinating history of the loony gas era
Here's another fascinating article from author Deboruh Blum about the deaths and illnesses caused by the use of tetraethyl lead in gasoline in the 1920s. The dangerous additive wouldn't become banned in the U.S. until 1986.
"But, as I wrote in a previous post, men working at the plant quickly gave it the “loony gas” tag because anyone who spent much time inside showed signs of mental deterioration, from stumbling memory loss to sudden twitchy bursts of rage. In October of 1924, workers in the TEL building began collapsing, going into convulsions, babbling deliriously. By the end of September, 32 of the 49 TEL workers were in the hospital; five of them died."
