X-ray diffraction and electron-micrograph studies were made on the effects of a range of chlorinated hydrocarbons on the nerve myelin sheath. The size of the non-polar solvent molecule is a most important factor in the destruction of the molecular organization of the myelin layer, and perhaps of lipoprotein membranes in general, but the experimental conditions would not permit an accurate assessment of the possibility of small effects arising from other factors. X-ray diffraction and electron-microscope studies were made on the effects of a range of chlorinated hydrocarbons on the nerve myelin sheath.
