Cited as authority on page 92 in the June 2015 Final USEPA Guidance Document on Vapor Intrusion Sources to Indoor Air. Notable quote from page 92 “Passive samplers are also capable of being deployed for longer durations than evacuated canisters, thereby providing a more economic means of obtaining average indoor air concentrations over longer periods of exposure.”

MTBE: A Precautionary Tale
Harvard Environmental Law Review, Volume 28, 2004. Pages 281-341.
Thomas O. McGarity’s thorough article on the history of the gasoline additive MTBE addition to the gasoline market and the resulting impacts to ground water drinking water supplies are published in the Harvard Environmental Law Review. MTBE impacts to the City of Santa Monica and South Lake Tahoe Public Utility District drinking water wells are featured. Notable quote from the article: “The petroleum industry, however, takes the position that the magnitude of the groundwater contamination caused by MTBE from leaking USTs [Underground Storage Tanks] has been exceedingly modest.”
