Perchlorate is a concern in drinking water because of its high solubility and mobility, its effects on thyroid hormone production, and treatment cost. Although perchlorate removal technologies suitable for wellhead application exist, there is a need to develop additional, economical perchlorate removal technologies. In addition, conventional wellhead technologies are specific for perchlorate only and are unable to effectively treat volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are often co-contaminants. This project demonstrated ...
Perchlorate is an issue in drinking water because of its high solubility and mobility, known effects on thyroid hormone production, and treatment cost.

The need for cost-effective treatment is especially pressing in the Inland Empire; a two-county region composed of San Bernardino and Riverside counties, whose population of 3.4 million is larger than those ...
