EPA joins critics of MTBE
Article Abstract:
The EPA formed a blue ribbon panel tasked with determining the air quality benefits and water quality concerns associated with oxygenates in gasoline. The panel submitted a report in July 1999 that recommends the reduction or the total elimination of MTBE in gasoline. It made the recommendation to eliminate the use of MTBE to lessen current and future threats to drinking water. The panel discovered that oxygenates do not biodegrade well and contaminates drinking water supplies.
