The Public Health Service and the Bureau of Mines have recently had occasion to make a series of clinical and laboratory examinations which it is believed will be useful in defining the region of safe exposure to carbon monoxide. The Port of New York Authority requested that a group of one hundred and fifty-six officers who had been assigned to duty in the Holland Tunnel in 1927 be examined to find out whether or not injury to health may have resulted from occupational exposure to carbon monoxide. These officers had been examined in 1932 by Bureau of Mines and Public Health Service physicians, but, because the findings were negative as far as occupational disease was concerned, and because funds for publication were limited at that time, a report was not published. The opportunities for investigating the effects of long-continued exposure to low concentrations of carbon monoxide are unusaually favorable in
