To the Editor.—

The policy statement,1 "Children in Pickup Trucks," was useful and constructive. However, the statement failed to mention the exposure to carbon monoxide of children who ride in the back of pickup trucks and station wagon vans.

We recently saw two healthy children who had developed acute carbon monoxide poisoning from a defective exhaust system after riding in the back seat of an air-conditioned station wagon van. Their initial carboxyhemoglobin levels were 21.3% and 10%, respectively.
