Evaluation of Alternative Causes of Widespread, Low Concentration Perchlorate Impacts to Groundwater

Abstract

The objective of this Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP)Project ER-1429 was to identify and ultimately quantify, to the extent possible, the potential impacts of the aforementioned wide-ranging, non-military perchlorate inputs to the environment. Few publications have estimated potential perchlorate impacts to the environment from these products based on their perchlorate content, production figures and common application/release rates. As an additional objective, the project team expanded on our previous research to understand the potential impact of sulfonates on perchlorate detections in groundwater.
