Methyl tert-Butyl Ether

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is a volatile, colorless liquid produced for use as a fuel additive. It was widely blended into gasoline starting in the late 1970s to increase the octane rating and to act as an oxygenate, which helps fuel burn more completely and reduce harmful tailpipe emissions. However, its use became highly controversial due to its high solubility in water, which led to widespread groundwater contamination from leaking underground storage tanks. Because of these environmental and health concerns, many states have banned or restricted its use, leading to a significant decline in its consumption in the United States.
