224 of Environmental Science & Technology/Vol. 34,
No. 1, 2000 reports previous data finding perchlorates was incorrect
as published by Sridhar Susarla, T.W. Collette, A. W. Garrrison,
N. L. Wolfe, and S. C. McCutcheon: Perchlorate Identification
in Fertilizers. No perchlorates were detected in Table 1.
- As published in the June 1, 2000 / Environmental
Science & Technology/News p. 245A, " As last
year's perchlorate-in-fertilizer brouhaha illustrates (Environ,
Sci. Technol, 1999, 33 (19) 394A-395A), having a number of
accurate and reliable methods for detecting perchlorate is crucial
for researchers testing groundwater and drinking water for contamination.
Retesting of fertilizer samples by EPA's National Exposure Research
Lab in Athens, GA, shows that perchlorate's presence is not as
ubiquitous as previously feared (Envirn, Sci. Technol,
2000, 34 (1) 224), but researchers there are still grappling
with the issue."
