  Perchlorate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A perchlorate (compound) is a compound containing this group, with chlorine in oxidation state +7.
The perchlorate ion is the weakest oxidizer of the generalized chlorates.
Most perchlorates, especially salts of electropositive metals such as sodium perchlorate, are slow to react unless heated, the perchlorate ion being largely inert and not oxidizing at lower temperatures.

 Perchlorate and Perchlorate Salts, IRIS, Environmental Protection Agency
The effects of perchlorate in these healthy adult humans did not change over time, as indicated by very similar results for thyroid radioiodide uptake measurements on day 2 of perchlorate administration compared to day 14 in the three higher dose groups (uptake was not measured on day 2 in the lowest dose group).
Therefore, an uncertainty factor for database adequacy is not considered necessary for perchlorate because of the consistency of the human data across multiple studies and the reliance on a precursor, non-adverse, biochemical event as the point of departure.
This is based on extensive mechanistic data on the mode-of-action of perchlorate, commencing with the inhibition of iodide uptake at the sodium-iodide symporter, and the conclusion that thyroid-pituitary disruption is the sole mode of action for the observed thyroid tumors caused by perchlorate in rodents.

 Potassium : by Ray Sahelian, M.D., health benefit, food source
Potassium is the principal positive ion inside of the cells of the body and is used in nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and normal kidney function.
Potassium iodide is used to treat overactive thyroid and to protect the thyroid gland from the effects of radiation from inhaled or swallowed radioactive iodine.
Potassium iodide may be used before and after administration of medicine containing radioactive iodine or after accidental exposure to radioactive iodine (for example, from nuclear power plant accidents that involved release of radioactivity to the environment).

Potassium perchlorate until recently was used to treat hyperthyroidism resulting from Grave's disease, and is still used diagnostically to test thyroid hormone production in some clinical settings.
The toxicity of perchlorate is an active area of research, with most activity focused on the potential of perchlorate to hinder the synthesis of thyroid hormones and/or subsequent consequences resulting from decreases in thyroid hormones.

 Perchlorate (CIO4)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The most common forms of perchlorate include ammonium perchlorate (used as a solid rocket fuel propellant and ignitable source in munitions and fireworks) and potassium perchlorate (used to treat Grave's Disease [hyperthyroidism] since the 1950's).
Perchlorate salts dissociate completely in water and aqueous tissues, therefore exposure is to the ion, not to the salt.
Perchlorate is also associated with certain types of flares, fireworks, air bags, shoulder fired rocket propelled firearms, and other sources.

 ES&T Online News: Perchlorate impact quantified
Perchlorate is known to impair thyroid function by interfering with the gland’s uptake of iodide, and potassium perchlorate has been used to treat conditions like Graves disease that cause the thyroid to become hyperactive and produce too much thyroid hormone.
Greer and his collaborators determined the dose of perchlorate in drinking water necessary to trigger an effect on iodide uptake by having 37 male and female adult human volunteers drink 400 milliliters of water laced with varying concentrations of pharmaceutical-grade potassium perchlorate for 14 days.
From that, they determined that perchlorate concentrations ranging from 180 to 220 ppb, and possibly much higher “should be of no health concern in iodine-sufficient populations.” They note that the U.S. population’s iodine intake has declined in the past 25 years, but they don’t believe that this has caused general iodine insufficiency.

 Perchlorate Identification in Fertilizers
Perchlorate is commercially produced as solid salts of ammonium, sodium, and potassium cations; it is used as an oxidizer in solid propellants for rockets, missiles, fireworks, and certain munitions and used in the manufacture of matches.
Perchlorate is water-soluble, exceedingly mobile in aqueous systems, and can persist for many decades under typical groundwater and surface water conditions (2).
Perchlorate is of concern because of uncertainties about toxicity and health effects at low levels in drinking water, impact on ecosystems, and indirect exposure pathways for humans due to accumulation in vegetables.
