The Atmosphere - A Potential Source of MTBE to Ground Water. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as MTBE, benzene, chloroform, and trichloroethylene (TCE) are frequently detected in ground water. Land-use planners are faced with difficult decisions concerning development of land and the protection of ground water from these contaminants. THE OCCURRENCE OF MTBE IN GROUND WATER IN EUROPE Alette Langenhoff, rence of MTBE in European surface-and ground water. 3 MTBE in the Netherlands At present, there are insufficient data to make an accurate assessment of the current risk posed Abstract. This chapter summarizes the occurrence of MTBE in surface and ground water as reported in several studies. Information reviewed includes the last ten years of sampling results for the United States Geological Survey s (USGS) National Water Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program and the findings of other MTBE sampling programs in the U.S. Ether and Gasoline Hydrocarbons in Ground Water and Source Water in the United U.S. Geological Survey.

This report reviews the current state of knowledge on the transport and fate of MTBE in ground water, with emphasis on the natural processes that can be used to manage the risk associated with MTBE in ground water or that contribute to natural attenuation of MTBE as a remedy.

That conclusion was cited in the MTBE toxicity review the World Health available data are inconclusive and prohibit their use for human carcinogenic MTBE continues to be detected in groundwater used for large and small Citations were limited to those in English and those published after the For example, in England and Wales, modeling analyses based on 3,000 groundwater samples from over 800 sites found that the potential plume dimensions for ether oxygenates, such as MTBE, did not pose a major threat to public water supplies (Environment Agency 2000). Additionally, a review of groundwater conditions at a number of sites with contains 18% oxygen. New Hampshire ultimately banned the use of MtBE in all gasoline beginning on January 1, 2007. However, the groundwater contamination caused its use persists today. Health Effects Animal studies suggest drinking water with high levels of MtBE may cause stomach irritation, liver and kidney damage, and nervous system effects. Fate of MTBE Relative to Benzene in a Gasoline- Contaminated Aquifer (1993-98) James E. Landmeyer, Paul M. Bradley, and Francis H. Chapelle Methyl tert -butyl ether (MTBE) and benzene have been measured since 1993 in a shallow, sandy aquifer contaminated a late-1980's release of gasoline. Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) was legally used as a gasoline blending component in New York State from 1979 until its statewide ban on January 1, 2004. The expanding use of MTBE in gasoline during that period resulted in significant MTBE impacts to the groundwater resource of Long Island. Better understanding of the scope of the impact is of great importance to the NYSDEC as the Long Because MTBE has a high solubility in water, it can readily dissolve in ground water and be transported as a dissolved species ground water flow. Table 1 summarizes some basic physical properties of MTBE and another component of gasoline (benzene) which is included for comparison. Report is then peer-reviewed the Scientific Committee on Toxicity, Ecotoxicity and The current usage and occurrence of MTBE in groundwater in England and Wales was a major threat to public water supplies in England and Wales.

It has polluted groundwater due to MTBE-containing gasoline being spilled or leaked at gas stations. Review of our specific findings with regard to those of previous studies is that were the focus of the current study and the greater passage of time since the release, a larger Use of Long-Term Monitoring Data to Evaluate Benzene, MTBE, and TBA Plume Behavior in Groundwater at Retail Gasoline Sites. Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used fuel oxygenate. MTBE is more soluble in water than benzene,toluene,ethylbenzene,and xylene (BTEX) and is less biodegradable than BTEX in the subsurface. There is also field evidence of MTBE occurring in groundwater at higher concentrations than BTEX.

MTBE OCCURRENCE Anthropogenic Sources The most prevalent use of MTBE is as a gasoline additive to either raise the octane level or make gasoline burn cleaner. MTBE in unleaded gasoline is typically 11 to 15 percent of the total volume. the mid-1990s, the demand for MTBE was over 200,000 barrels (approximately 8.4 million gallons) a day.
