More MTBE Suits in Progress.

By Av Harris on Friday, May 31, 2002.

New Hampshire’s Attorney General’s office is expected to decide in coming months whether to sue oil companies over MTBE contamination of the state’s water supplies.
Originally put into gas to clean auto emissions, MTBE has polluted thousands of groundwater sources across the country.
One lawsuit against several oil companies is before a jury in California.
Another is going forward in Rhode Island, as correspondent Av Harris reports from Providence.
