Two-generation reproductive toxicity study of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MBTE) in rats. C. Bevan et al. J. Appl. Toxicology, May 1997, 17(Suppl.1), S13--S19.

The study reported evaluated the effects of MTBE exposure on reproductive function in two generations of Sprague-Dawley rats. The materials and methods used are described and the results demonstrate that reproduction was unaffected by exposure to MTBE at vapor concentrations of up to 8000 ppm. Prolonged exposure to MTBE vapor resulted in parental toxicity at 3000 and 8000 ppm. 10 refs.
