HUMAN EXPOSURE OF METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE)

Huber, A. HUMAN EXPOSURE OF METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER (MTBE). U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/A-94/255 (NTIS PB95177150).

Description:

Data on ambient air quality and microenvironmental exposures (e.g., during refueling, inside cards, in personal garages) are too limited for a quantitative estimate of population exposures to MTBE. t best, they can be used to estimate broad ranges of potential exposures. ecause of the interest in MTBE, the present evaluation focuses on this compound, even though any potential health effects might result from complex pollutant mixtures of which MTBE is only one component. urther more, potential exposures of only the general public, not occupationally exposed groups, were evaluated.
