| MTBE was used in the gasoline supply from 1979 through 2006 and is still in use in some locations- such as Indian Reservations. The EPA mandated as a part of the Clean Air Act, that reformulated gasoline be used: EP - Spring 2000 - MTBE Good News / Bad News Additive MTBE: Good News / Bad News Additive Good news for air quality is not-so-good news for groundwater Drinking Water | Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) | US EPA Drinking Water Health Advisory for MTBE | Water Quality Criteria | US EPA Last edited by Venetia; October 20th, 2009 at 05:28 AM. |

| Because California consumed the greatest amount of MTBE due to the fact the state has the greatest number of vehicles, the citizens were first to notice the effects and complain to Politicians. Instead of reducing smog- it increased it and in addition, it polluted the water and soil as well. One particular scenario explains this clearly.

| http://toxics.ucdavis.edu/public/mtb...pt1-errata.pdf Go to page 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 11 at above link for information on how the MTBE eats through the underground storage tanks and pipes (used to transport the gasoline with the MTBE in it). The gasoline additive, MTBE, ate through the underground storage tanks at gasoline stations located above Lake Tahoe. The MTBE, which is 'wetter than water' flowed downhill to pollute the lake and soil. Because MTBE and it's daughter component, TBA, becomes a gas and returns to the air, only to cycle back into the water and ground. |
