Summary
The results of the analyses of three grades of gasoline for lead and sulfur are tabulated. The possible environmental burden based on annual consumption of over 115 billion gallons and a reported market usage of 68 percent regular, 11 percent unleaded and 21 percent premium are also tabulated. Data compilations are given of possible environmental burden of toxic elements (Pb, S, Cr, Ni, Cd, Mn, and V) based on average analyses and usage data. All of these elements are suspected or proven toxic agents to humans. Although gasoline and additive combustion may not necessarily be the largest source of these elements in the environment, it is a source of appreciable magnitude and cannot be ignored by environmentalists.
