Summary Triethyllead and the total lead were determind in the tissues in three acute fatal cases of tetraethyllead poisoning. In each case high concentrations of triethyllead were found (2.0–22.0 μg/g) being of the same range as the total lead content. The triethyllead content of the tissues showed a slightly decreasing trend with the length of the surviving period. High levels of the total lead were also found in blood (3.3–4.0 μg/ml), and urine (0.4–8.0 μg/ml), the highest values being observed after EDTA treatment. The triethyllead content in blood and urine was much lower.
