Environmental forensic evidence from perchlorate in dust fall [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Summer in Malta is accompanied by fireworks as part of the numerous (about 85) religious festivals (festa) that occur throughout the period. We attempted to establish whether firework activity is truly following official trade statistics, which imply a ...

Structure and evolution of chlorate reduction composite transposons. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
UnlabelledThe genes for chlorate reduction in six bacterial strains were analyzed in order to gain insight into the metabolism. A newly isolated chlorate-reducing bacterium (Shewanella algae ACDC) and three previously isolated strains (Ideonella ...

Occurrence of perchlorate in indoor dust from the United States and eleven other countries: Implications for human exposure

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2015
Perchlorate is a widespread environmental contaminant and potent thyroid hormone disrupting compound. Despite this, very little is known with regard to the occurrence of this compound in indoor dust and the exposure of humans to perchlorate through dust ...

(Per)chlorate-reducing bacteria can utilize aerobic and anaerobic pathways of aromatic degradation with (per)chlorate as an electron acceptor. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
UnlabelledThe pathways involved in aromatic compound oxidation under perchlorate and chlorate [collectively known as (per)chlorate]-reducing conditions are poorly understood.

Hypotheses for near-surface exchange of methane on Mars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The Curiosity rover recently detected a background of 0.7 ppb and spikes of 7 ppb of methane on Mars. This in situ measurement reorients our understanding of the Martian environment and its potential for life, as the current theories do not entail any ...

Stratospheric Gas‐Phase Production Alone Cannot Explain Observations of Atmospheric Perchlorate on Earth

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Perchlorate has been observed in many environments on Earth and Mars but its sources remain poorly quantified. In this study, we use a global three‐dimensional chemical transport model to simulate perchlorate's gas‐phase photochemical production ...

Benchmark Calculations for Perchlorate from Three Human Cohorts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The presence of low concentrations of perchlorate in some drinking water sources has led to concern regarding potential effects on the thyroid. In a recently published report, the National Academy of Sciences indicated that the perchlorate dose required ...

Resistance and Resilience of Sulfidogenic Communities in the Face of the Specific Inhibitor Perchlorate

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic and corrosive gas, produced by the activity of sulfate-reducing microorganisms (SRM). Owing to the environmental, economic and human-health consequences of sulfide, there is interest in developing specific inhibitors of SRM ...

Perchlorate Exposure Reduces Primordial Germ Cell Number in Female Threespine Stickleback. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Perchlorate is a common aquatic contaminant that has long been known to affect thyroid function in vertebrates, including humans. More recently perchlorate has been shown to affect primordial sexual differentiation in the aquatic model fishes zebrafish ...
