Discusses contamination of groundwater by MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether).
Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is a fuel oxygenate added to gasoline to reduce air pollution and increase octane ratings. This chemical has resulted in frequent detections of MTBE in samples of groundwater from urban areas in the U.S. Limited contamination of drinking water has also occurred and is of concern because MTBE is considered a human carcinogen by the EPA and has a disagreeable taste and odor at low concentrations. This report focuses on the inadvertent release of this compound to the environment from leaking underground fuel tanks with the goal of providing info. on the potential for MTBE to impact California's groundwater resources.
Here is a comprehensive and up-to date compendium of the technology and management of MTBE contamination, exploring the myths which impede successful clean-up techniques, and offering effective solutions. Section I looks at the history, properties, occurrence and assessment of MTBE. Section II discusses applicable remediation technologies. Section III offers remediation case studies.
