Description:Excerpt from Asphyxiation in Garages and Other Automobile Accidents The rapid march of modern progress in mechanics has brought about many radical changes in power production, one of the conspicuous examples being the use of gasoline, kerosene, and benzine as fuel. Among tho more important places in which these substances are so used may he mentioned steamships, submarines, aeroplanes, automobiles, small private lighting plants and small power plants in factories, mercantile establishments and private homes. The most important factors in such use are the necessity of using a very powerful engine with but little weight, particuarly for aeros and autos; the great necessity of saving valuable floor space in restricted quarters; cheapness of the installation; facility with which the fuel may be obtained; the large amount of fuel which may be stored and carried in a comparatively small space; and the economy in labor and other outlay required to operate and maintain such system. Those engines which may, or necessarily must, be operated in an enclosed space, or indoors, are of great importance from the standpoint of safety and sanitation. From time to time there appears in the newspapers, medical journals, safety magazines and other periodicals reports of persons having been prostrated, or killed, by the fumes emanating from the combustion of gasoline in engines in which this product is used as fuel, fanciful names as "petromortis," etc., being sometimes given to this pathological condition. The specific factor which produces this ill effect is carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas formed by the incomplete combustion of the gasoline. In addition to this information, reports of occupational diseases arising from this cause, and reports of the dangerous conditions surrounding workers in garages led the Bureau of Inspection of the Industrial Hygiene to make an extensive survey of garages in the State of New York for the purpose of determining what, if any, remedial measures were required and to place the necessary orders, so far as possible, under the Labor Law to correct any dangerous conditions found.
