BACKGROUND This biennial review covers developments in water analysis for emerging
environmental contaminants over the period of 2007-2008. A few significant references that …

Abstract Perchlorate (ClO 4−) is a persistent water soluble oxyanion of growing
environmental interest. Perchlorate contamination can be a health concern due to its ability …

Perchlorate, an iodide uptake inhibitor, is increasingly being detected in new places and
new matrices. Perchlorate contamination has been attributed largely to the manufacture and …

Because of its extremely low concentrations and strong resistance to most treatment
technologies, perchlorate has become one of the biggest challenges currently being faced …

Perchlorate (ClO4-) occurrence in groundwater has previously been linked to industrial
releases and the historic use of Chilean nitrate fertilizers. However, recently a number of …

Treatment of perchlorate-contaminated water using highly selective, regenerable ion-
exchange and perchlorate-destruction technologies was demonstrated at a field site in …

In previous studies trace levels of perchlorate were found in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)
irrigated with Colorado River water, which is contaminated with low levels of perchlorate …

Perchlorate salts of potassium and ammonium are the primary oxidants in pyrotechnic
mixtures, yet insufficient information is available regarding the relationship between …

Perchlorate is widely used as an oxidant in solid rocket propellants and energetic
applications, and it has frequently been detected in groundwaters at concentrations relevant …

Perchlorate has been detected recently in a variety of soils, waters, plants, and food
products at levels that may be detrimental to human health. These discoveries have …
