Chronic Methyl tert-butyl ether exposure disrupts neurodevelopment and selectively impairs dopaminergic neurons.

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is a widely detected environmental contaminant, especially in the water; however, its impact on brain development remains poorly defined. Here, we show that chronic exposure to MTBE (15mg/mL in drinking water) beginning during embryonic development (E9.5) and continuing post-weaning for 1...
