Abstract
Perchlorate is a persistent and long-lasting pollutant discovered in many water and food sources worldwide, causing widespread concern. It is a hormone disruptor that impacts human health by interfering with the thyroid gland's natural function. It is rapidly absorbed in humans and experimental animals following oral administration. Adults, fetuses, and neonates who are iodine-deficient may be particularly vulnerable to perchlorate sensitivity. Since perchlorate is widely present in surface water and groundwater, it is exposed to the aquatic environment. Solid fuels, ammunition, fireworks, fertilizers, vehicle airbag activators, and flares contain perchlorate as an oxidizing agent. Currently, many studies are being done on determining sources and remedial methods. For biological and environmental matrices, trace perchlorate levels have been measured in drinking water, sewage, milk, beer, blood, saliva, breast milk, fruits, and vegetables. The goal of this review focuses on analytical methods of perchlorate detection and prospects.
期刊介绍:
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
