Sources

The Oxygenate Bibliography includes references from a variety of sources.  Many references were obtained through the Chemical Abstracts Data Base.  Additional references were compiled with the help of other interested parties including international research sources, industry and their commercial affiliates, research laboratories, and other governmental agencies, including the USEPA.

The Citations

Every effort has been made to include only published materials.  Only proceedings and abstracts/extended abstracts from conferences and symposia that have gone through peer review processes are included in the Oxygenate Bibliography.  Gasoline oxygenate publications focusing on occurrence, trends and understanding of gasoline oxygenates in water are emphasized.  Because of extensive coverage on other web sites, such as the USEPA's, information on the following topics generally are not included:  drinking-water standards and health advisories; economics and production; human health; laboratory experiments; remediation and cleanup technologies; and toxicity to aquatic organisms.

The references were categorized by a member of the NAWQA VOC National Synthesis Team. Citations retrieved by a search are in U.S. Geological Survey bibliographic format.

 

Search Methodology

The Oxygenate Bibliography is searchable using a keyword search. The initial word search should begin with the oxygenate acronym(s) (e.g. the acronym for methyl tert-butyl ether is MTBE).  Topics that aid in further defining the search include transformation, transfer, and transport processes, environmental occurrences and miscellaneous. Each topic has a listing of searchable keywords to facilitate a search.  References may appear under more than one of the keyword searches.

In addition, the Oxygenate Bibliography is searchable using a free text search. The free text search locates references only if the search word is contained within the citation. Citations for publications from a particular year or author can by retrieved using the free text search (for example, search for 1998 or Moran)

In addition, the full bibliography can be viewed as follows: sorted by author | or sorted by publication date
