The origin of naturally occurring perchlorate: the role of atmospheric processes.

TL;DR: It is shown that perchlorate is readily formed by a variety of simulated atmospheric processes, and is present in many rain and snow samples, which strongly suggests that some per chlorate is formed in the atmosphere and a naturalperchlorate background of atmospheric origin should exist.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perchlorate in the United States. Analysis of relative source contributions to the food chain.

TL;DR: Most estimates suggest that over the considered period, the contribution of CNF to incorporation of perchlorate in the food chain has likely been comparable to oxidizer per chlorate, with natural production being a lesser source.
Journal ArticleDOI

Widespread Natural Perchlorate in Unsaturated Zones of the Southwest United States

TL;DR: A substantial reservoir of natural perchlorate is present in diverse unsaturated zones of the arid and semi-arid southwestern United States and appears widespread in steppe-to-desert ecoregions, which may help explain increasing reports of per chlorine in dry region agricultural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Widespread Presence of Naturally Occurring Perchlorate in High Plains of Texas and New Mexico

TL;DR: Groundwater from an area of 155,000 km2 in 56 counties in northwest Texas and eastern New Mexico is impacted by the presence of perchlorate, and the source of ClO4- appears to most likely be atmospheric deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perchlorate Accumulation in Forage and Edible Vegetation

TL;DR: Investigation of potential perchlorate uptake and distribution by a variety of forage and edible crops in both the laboratory and the field highlighted the potential for per chlorate exposure by routes other than drinking water.
