Show me the study that concludes MTBE to be a carcinogen.quote:
And to DJ's comments, MTBE is a known carcinogen.
Once in the Ground water system it is almost impossible to filter the chemical out to make it drinkable.

California, New York and Connecticut unsuccessfully had asked the EPA for a waiver of the requirement because the states had banned MTBE after finding it polluted the groundwater. The states were forced to use ethanol, which they contend worsened pollution problems.
Arizona has banned the use of MTBE as an "oxygenate" additive to fight smog.
