The MTBE Remediation Handbook is a comprehensive and up-to date compendium of knowledge of the technology and risk management of MTBE contamination. This handbook examines the remediation of MTBE in existing spills: exploring the myths which act as impediments to successful clean-up techniques, and offering effective solutions.
