This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I addresses the development of a remote-telemetry compatible sensor for measuring reductions in methyl tertiary butyl ether levels in soil at underground storage tank cleanup sites. At present, there are over 160,000 sites with petroleum and methyl tertiary butyl ether contaminated soil, which poses a significant threat to the environment as well as human health and safety. In addition, there are approximately 286,000 underground storage tanks that pose a significant risk to the environment because they are not in compliance with federally mandated leak detection requirements.This sensor would enable the development of a new and improved chemical detection system for identifying methyl tertiary butyl ether levels in soil and to accurately determine the risks of underground storage tanks in cleanup sites.

该小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段致力于开发一种远程遥测兼容传感器，用于测量地下储罐清理现场土壤中甲基叔丁基醚含量的减少。 目前，全球有16万多处土壤被石油和甲基叔丁基醚污染，对环境和人类健康安全构成重大威胁。此外，约有286，000个地下储罐因不符合联邦政府规定的泄漏检测要求而对环境构成重大风险。该传感器将有助于开发新的和改进的化学检测系统，用于识别土壤中的甲基叔丁基醚水平，并准确确定清理现场地下储罐的风险。
