| A workshop on biodegradation of MTBE-contaminated soils and groundwater was held in Cincinnati, OH, on February 1-3, 2000. Researchers in academia, industry, and government agencies were invited to attend and present current research. The goals of the workshop were to: gain an understanding of the types of MTBE research that various organizations are conducting and of the conclusions that this research is generating; identify the remaining research needs on MTBE biodegradability; and understand what research is being planned for the future and to identify potential opportunities for collaboration. |
