Subject: MTBE stubbed it's toe here.. but is still used elsewhere


Liability for cleanup of drinking water is what stubbed MTBE's toe here in the US.. surprisingly it's still widely used in Mexico and other third world countries.

This article is from 2003.. before MTBE lost it's immunity.

However, there is more work to be done.

Poor air quality caused by anthropologic actives in the 20th century has led to the rise of numerous diseases. There have been several studies and reviews which assessed the impact of air pollution on general health [
1-3]. On account of the alarming rise of diseases caused by pollution, there is a need to focus government efforts and research on reducing air pollution levels, promotion use of clean energy sources and investigate the harmful effects of air pollution on humans.

 

Cancers of the aero-digestive tract are a grave problem showing an upward trend in various parts of the world.

There is a growing body of evidence which has linked the air pollution to cancer of the aerodigestive tract [5-6], an association which is supported by World Health Organisation (WHO) [7]. Outdoor air pollution and particulate matter have been officially classified as a group one carcinogen by The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a WHO cancer agency [7]. This has had a far-reaching effect on the acknowledgment of the detrimental impact of air pollution, a leading environmental factor, in cancer deaths. Thus, the association between pollutants from industrial products and aero-digestive tract cancers needs to be thoroughly evaluated and stringent measures need to be employed to curb the ill-effects of such products released into the environment.

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that benzene causes cancer in humans. Long-term exposure to high levels of benzene in the air can cause leukemia, cancer of the blood-forming organs.
