Internal oil company documents discovered by Mr. Summy and his colleague Celeste Evangelisti demonstrated that, in the mid- 1980s prior to adding MTBE to gasoline on a large scale, many of the oil companies were well aware of the problems posed by MTBE to drinking water, but failed to disclose the risk to government regulators or the public. (Communities for a Better Environment vs. Unocal Corporation). These findings led Mr. Summy to bring MTBE products liability suits across the country – a novel approach at the time.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wateronline.com/article.mvc/Water-Contamination-Suit-Results-In-Historic-0001">"No human health studies or long-term carcinogenicity studies on animals were conducted</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wateronline.com/article.mvc/Water-Contamination-Suit-Results-In-Historic-0001">by the oil companies</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/58552AD8-DDE7-4884-9F3D-DC3C42D02E2E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
