The organic lead compounds, <br /> tetraethyllead (TEL) and tetramethyllead (TML) are constituents of gasoline as antiknock compounds. Health <br /> problems associated with lead are headache, anxiety, insomnia, nervous excitation and minor gastrointestinal <br /> symptoms with a metallic taste in the mouth.
