Concentrations, sources and fate of the gasoline oxygenate methylate tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in a multiple-use lake

Article Abstract:

Public health officials are concerned about the presense of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in drinking water supplies. Few published studies exist regarding the effect on ground water of MTBE, however recent policy decisions stipulating its use are forthcoming anyway, even though attempts to reduce air pollution from vehicle emissions may be causing unacceptable levels of water pollution. The present study concentrates on the relative contribution of motorized water craft as a source of water pollution, seasonable didstribution of same, loss from the water column, the extent of vertical transport and the persistence between years.
