Talk:Maximum contaminant level of MTBE

MtBE in Drinking Water Introduction

Our group will construct a health advisory concerning MtBE. In doing so, we will cover four general topics such as: health effects in humans and animals, chemical and physical properties of MtBE, environmental sources and remediation, and lastly, characterization of hazard and dose response. Research on these four topics will shed light on current studies, information, and available data which are necessary to determine a more accurate MCL for MtBE in drinking water for 2006.

Merger
A review of MTBE toxicity from EPA data will be added to the current page to determine a MCL for MTBE.
