The effects of detoxification of domestic gas on suicide in the United States.

D Lester

Psychology Program, Richard Stockton State College, Pomona, NJ 08240.

As domestic gas was detoxified in the United States, the rate of suicide by domestic gas decreased. During this time period (1950-60), there was a parallel increase in the per capita ownership of cars and an accompanying increase in the rate of suicide by motor vehicle exhaust. However, displacement of suicide method from domestic gas to car exhaust occurred only for males and not for females.
