Perchlorates on Mars enhance the bacteriocidal effects of UV light

Scientific Reports, 2017
Perchlorates have been identified on the surface of Mars. This has prompted speculation of what their influence would be on habitability. We show that when irradiated with a simulated Martian UV flux, perchlorates become bacteriocidal.
