[QUOTE="bclapham, post: 614648, member: 25565"] Well, Nephron is a proper Doctor and he can give you more accurate answers on toxicity and the body, but i might estimate i have handled more nasty and diverse organic chemicals than everyone on this board put together. Often, these heavy metals are very toxic, but they arent a problem since they are not volatile and wont pass through the skin (generalizing here). when we put the 4 ethyl groups on the lead atom (tetraethyl-) it makes it very volatile and you can absorb it through inhalation or skin contact. now, we may not feel the effects imediately, but these heavy metals dont clear from the body very well and the big problem is the build up after months of exposure. this is even before we have gone down the road discusing sensitizers- ive seen people break out in a rash when a chemist opened a bottle of organo tins at the other side of a building since they had previously been exposed and sensitized. (organo tins arent that much different than organo leads if you find a perodic table) so price up the whole deal, i dont think you will end up spending that much more on the C12 and not only will get the octane you need, you will also get an infinately better fuel for your application.
