MTBE Contamination: Learn How an MTBE Attorney Can Help Protect Your Water and Your Community

MTBE enters the environment and biodegrades very slowly, thus lurking in water for decades or more.

Presently, the EPA does not have adequate data to estimate potential health risks of MTBE at low exposure levels in drinking water, but supports the conclusion that MTBE is a potential human carcinogen at high doses.

An MTBE attorney can help you and your community demand that oil companies pay for the costs of MTBE cleanup in the event of contamination.

For an MTBE lawsuit, you will need an experienced Weitz & Luxenberg MTBE attorney at your side.

Below you can research MTBE contamination and the effects it has on your health and on the environment.
