The Groundwater Protection and Restoration Group at the
University of Sheffield has just completed a field research project
on an MTBE spill in the Chalk aquifer, as well as two lab projects
on MTBE biodegradation. We have probably done more work on
MTBE than any other UK research group.
We believe that natural attenuation may be a viable remedial option
in many cases. The field study is on a CL:AIRE site and will be
reported through their website in due course. Please contact us if
you would like more information.
