Several of the older links to sources of information about MTBE
no longer exist since the phase-out of MTBE in gasoline sold in California in December of 2003.
If you are looking for both technical and non-technical information try the following active USEPA websites
since MTBE continues to be a national issue:
A website that discusses the health effects of MTBE can be found at
the the federal government's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) or at the National Institutes
of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS):
The U.S. Geological Survey has a MTBE website and maintains a bibliography of scientific literature regarding MTBE
and other fuel oxygenates: http://wwwsd.cr.usgs.gov/nawqa/vocns/mtbe/bib/
The American Petroleum Institute, an industry organization has a compilation of links to information about MTBE: http://www.api.org/ehs/mtbelink.htm
The California Office of Environmenal Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has a summary of the rationale it used
in setting the unit risk factor for MTBE in air: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/air/pdf/mtbeta1.pdf
