Abstract
IN a recent communication, Wolman1 described the photodynamic hæmolysis of sheep's red corpuscles by carcinogenic hydrocarbons. Though unable to demonstrate this in 1937, we did succeed last year using long exposures to light. Our results agree closely with Wolman's. But we varied and further extended the experiments in order to try to see how benzpyrene sensitizes red corpuscles. We have carried out the following investigations.
