Abstract
The authors discuss present and future Federal involvement in decisions relating to the use of sodium azide to generate gas for air bags and stress the need to establish a perspective from which to examine the raw data concerning the associated health hazards. Several examples are given of other chemicals which present problems in the manufacture, use, and disposal of automobiles. The authors suggest that these hazards be minimized through generic proceedings.
