Abstract | Data on ambient air quality and microenvironmental exposures (e.g., during refueling, inside cars, in personal garages) are too limited for a quantitative estimate of population exposures to Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE). At best, they can be used to estimate broad ranges of potential exposures. Because 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. Further more, potential exposures of only the general public, not occupationally exposed groups, were evaluated. |
