Oxygenate Analysis - EPA 826u - 2 - 18 July 1997 <br /> result is that we do not know what oxygenate compound is in the gasoline at a particular gas <br /> station. TAME may be used by Chevron,but, because of this swapping,TAME rather than <br /> MTBE will end up in the ground water at a Shell site. And, as an oil company representative <br /> stated, "If MTBE is used at a site, it will be in the ground water, and we don't know how." <br /> Presumably, this will be true for all additives. Currently, our database records substantiate the <br /> ubiquity of MTBE. <br /> Therefore, in order to determine which oxygenated compound is present,water samples must <br /> b/anaed <br /> EPA Method 8260 and the presence or absence of the oxygenate reported.
