In order to see the effects of salt variation on the electrical and mechanical properties of the structural supercapacitor, three salts (lithium
perchlorate, potassium
perchlorate, and zinc chloride) were used.
While this suggests heating of
perchlorate destroyed organic compounds and formed this molecule, there is no sure way to confirm this idea.
Perchlorate is known to reduce absorption of iodine from the blood into the thyroid, where iodine is needed to make the thyroid hormone, T4.
"The Food and Drug Administration apparently didn't realize at the time how much
perchlorate food can pick up as it rubs against the plastic," says Maffini.
Linear mixed-effects models (Proc Mixed in SAS) were used to evaluate associations of one time-point
perchlorate, thiocyanate, and nitrate measures with repeated outcome anthropometric measurements (height, waist circumference, weight, and BMI) measured during 3-13 visits.
We chose calcium
perchlorate tetrahydrate for simulating Martian brine as it is a likely brine candidate due to its ubiquity on Mars, its hygroscopic properties and its low eutectic temperature (Hecht et al., 2009; Kounaves et al., 2014; Glavin et al., 2013; Leshin et al., 2013; Ojha et al., 2015; Marion et al., 2010).
The case example of
perchlorate, a rocket fuel component, attests to the pervasiveness of military chemical waste.
The statement also noted that iodine deficiency "increases vulnerability to the effects of certain environmental pollutants, such as nitrate, thiocyanate, and
perchlorate."
EAST BROOKFIELD -- Town officials are breathing a sigh of relief after the latest test of the town's water supply revealed a significantly reduced level of the contaminant
perchlorate, making it almost undetectable.
Perchlorate salts are commonly used in rocket propellants, as well as in fireworks, fertilizers and in the electroplating industry.
Environmental Protection Agency is developing standards for
perchlorate in drinking water.
In particular, Part I looks at: (1) the challenges of regulating lead, a contaminant that is governed by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA); (2) the health effects of
perchlorate, a contaminant not currently regulated by the SDWA; and (3) the particular problems that simultaneous exposure to multiple contaminants can pose, when it is not clear which contaminants are causing what harm.
