- I think you are referring to the aldehydes which have been known to be
- carcinagens. There is currently no standard or limit for measuring these.
- Discussion is underway to include these in EPA tests, especially with
- the coming of Variable Fuel Vehicles which a supposed to run on anything
- from M00 (no alcohol) to M100 (all alcohol).
