[Prognosis after exposure to engine fuel vapours].

Exposure of workers employed in the distribution and transportation of liquid fuels is a very complex problem. As a preliminary stage, an analytical procedure for the identification and quantitative determination of liquid fuel components is presented. The composition of different types of gasoline was also analysed. Knowledge about the fuel composition is essential for predicting exposure to hydrocarbons and other unburned compounds amitted from tanks and car engines.
