Oncogenicity studies of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) vapor were conducted in CD-1 mice and Fischer 344 rats. Fifty animals of each sex per species per group were exposed for 6 h a day, 5 days per week to 0 (control), 400, 3000 and 8000 ppm MTBE vapor in air for 18 months (mice) and 24 months (
