Abstract
Recentelijk is politieke commotie ontstaan ten gevolge van de mogelijke schadelijke gezondheidseffecten van Methyl tertiair-Butyl Ether (MTBE). Dit was reden voor het ministerie van VROM om het RIVM te verzoeken risicogrenzen voor MTBE in bodem, sediment, grondwater, oppervlaktewater, drinkwater en ten behoeve van drinkwaterbereiding af te leiden. Bij de afleiding van deze risicogrenzen werd afgestemd met de "Risk Assessment Report" van de EU (EU-RAR) uit 2002. Vanwege gebrek aan terrestrische data en de dominantie van de relatief onzekere inhalatieve blootstellingsroute voor de mens is de betrouwbaarheid van de risicogrenzen in het algemeen "beperkt".
Recently, possible unacceptable harmful effects from Methyl tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE) to humans raised political consternation. For this reason the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment ("VROM") ordered the RIVM to derive solid risk limits for soil, sediment, groundwater, surface water, drinking water and for drinking water preparation. When deriving this risk limits co-ordination with "Risk Assessment Report" from the EU (EU-RAR) from 2002 took place. In general the accuracy of the risk limits is "restricted", because of lack of data on terrestrial organisms and the dominance of the relatively uncertain inhalation exposure pathway to humans.
