Perchlorate is a highly persistent inorganic pollutant found in drinking water, soil, and air, with known endocrine-disruptive properties due to its interference with iodide uptake by the thyroid gland. Human exposure mainly occurs through contaminated water and food. Additionally, perchlorates are prevalent in improvised explosives, causing numerous civilian casualties, making their detection important in a worldwide aspect. Fluorescence-based chemical sensors provide a valuable tool for the selective detection of perchlorate ions due to their simplicity and applicability across various fields, including biology, pharmacology, military, and environmental science. This review article overviews perchlorate chemistry, occurrence, and remediation strategies, compares regulatory limits, and examines fluorescence-based detection mechanisms. It systematically summarizes recent advancements in designing at least a dozen fluorescence-based chemical materials for detecting perchlorate in the environment over the past decade. Key focus areas include the design and molecular architecture of synthetic chemical chromophores for perchlorate sensing and the photochemistry mechanisms driving their effectiveness. The main findings indicate that there has been significant progress in the development of reliable and robust fluorescence-based sensors with higher selectivity and sensitivity for perchlorate detection.
