    Title
    De aanwezigheid van methyl tert-butylether (MTBE) in drinkwater en drinkwaterbronnen
    Translated Title
    The occurence of methyl tert-butylether (MTBE) in drinking water and sources for drinking water
    Publiekssamenvatting
    Het RIVM heeft in samenwerking met VEWIN in 2001 een meetprogramma uitgevoerd voor de stof methyl tert-butylether (MTBE) in drinkwater en drinkwaterbronnen. In de periode juni/juli 2001 is een orieenterend meetprogramma uitgevoerd. De concentratie MTBE in ruwwater van 22 pompstations (in totaal werden 63 pompstations bemonsterd) was lager dan de rapportagegrens (0.01) ug/l. De overige ruwwatermonsters hadden waarden tussen 0.01 ug/l en 0.42 ug/l. De gemiddelde concentratie was 0.07 ug/l. Naar aanleiding van deze resultaten werden in de periode september/oktober de pompstations met een waarde boven de rapportagegrens bemonsterd. De concentratie MTBE in ruwwater was gemiddeld 0.13 ug/l. In totaal werden 51 pompstations bemonsterd. De concentraties in de monsters oppervlaktewater waren relatief hoog, met als hoogste waarde 3.2 ug/l (oppervlaktewatermonster uit het Lekkanaal bij Nieuwegein). De hoogste concentratie in de grondwatermonsters was 11.9 ug/l in een individuele grondwaterput nabij een benzinestation in Zutphen. De overige ruwwatermonsters (zowel grondwater als oppervlaktewater) bevatten oncentraties MTBE lager dan 0.5 g/l. De gemiddelde concentratie MTBE in reinwater (drinkwater) was 0.09 ug/l. De hoogste waarde was 2.9 ug/l bij het pompstation in Zutphen. Hiervoor is een aanwijsbare oorzaak, namelijk een verontreiniging in het waterwingebied. De gevonden waarde is lager dan de uit de literatuur bekende geur- en smaakgrens (range: 5 - 40 ug/l). De concentratie van 2.9 ug/l wordt uit gezondheidsoogpunt als veilig beschouwd. In alle overige reinwatermonsters was de concentratie MTBE lager dan 0.2 ug/l. Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat de concentratie MTBE in het Nederlandse drinkwater in het algemeen erg laag is. Voor de gevonden concentraties zijn, op basis van verschillende studies, geen gezondheidskundige effecten te verwachten.<br>
    In 2001 the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) in the Netherlands conducted a drinking water measurement programme in co-operation with the Netherlands Waterworks Association (VEWIN) for methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in drinking water and the corresponding sources. This study, consisting of two sampling periods, shows a generally low concentration of MTBE in drinking water at the selected drinking water plants. The selection of sampling locations was based on the vulnerability of the water catchment area. Measurements in the June/July period showed a concentration of <0.01 ug/l in 22 samples of raw water; the average concentration was 0.07 ug/l and the highest 0.42 ug/l. The average concentration in drinking water in September/October was 0.09 ug/l and the maximum 2.9 ug/l. This maximum concentration was unusual, considering that the second highest value was 0.14 ug/l MTBE. The raw water (both groundwater and surface water) samples registered a concentration of <0.5 ug/l; the highest concentration in surface water was 3.2 ug/l. However, at one location a relatively high concentration (11.9 ug/l) was found in an individual groundwater well. This contamination could be attributed to a local source. The main conclusion here is that MTBE occurs in drinking water, although the concentrations are generally very low (<0.14 ug/l), with a maximum value of 2.9 ug/l. There are no effects on health expected. It is, however, recommended to screen for MTBE in groundwater at locations with a history of or experience with soil contamination. Taking precautions for future spills at petrol stations remains priority number one.<br>
