Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is a fuel oxygenate added to gasoline to reduce air pollution and increase octane ratings. This chemical has resulted in frequent detections of MTBE in samples of groundwater from urban areas in the U.S. Limited contamination of drinking water has also occurred and is of concern because MTBE is considered a human carcinogen by the EPA and has a disagreeable taste and odor at low concentrations. This report focuses on the inadvertent release of this compound to the environment from leaking underground fuel tanks with the goal of providing info. on the potential for MTBE to impact California's groundwater resources.

This handbook presents the outlook for future production and consumption of MTBE and other oxygenates worldwide and studies new catalytic systems and modern methods for the synthesis and commercial production of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) and related ethers. The scope of this sophisticated guide extends from process chemistry fundamentals and reaction kinetics to environmental remediation technologies and industry responses to conflicting calls for MTBE phase-out and higher-octane products. Well-illustrated with over 200 figures and tables, this authoritative Handbook details bioremediation, air stripping, and oxidation and adsorption processes for MTBE removal.

Everyone in the modern diversity drenched, multimedia, multitasking, multi-channel society seems to have their own agenda, activity and polarised point of view. One of the few things which unites them all is the necessity to breath air, and the less harmful, the better. The air, on the other hand, although presumably not opposed to providing the agenda gobblers with that which is essential to them, is being bombarded with smoke, auto exhaust fumes, and every kind of pollutant known to exist. This book presents the latest information on these crucial issues including the usual feeble legislation being offered up, analyses of air quality and electricity, and the elusive standards necessary to maintain a decent level of relativity clean air.
