Thyroid Toxin Taints Water Supplies for Millions in Calif. & Nationwide Air Force, Defense Firms Lobby Against Standards for Rocket Fuel Waste
August, 2001
Sources of drinking water for more than 7 million Californians and unknown millions of other Americans are contaminated with a chemical that disrupts child development and may cause thyroid problems. The chemical, perchlorate, is not regulated by states or the federal government. The concerns are outlined in a detailed report from the Environmental Working Group, "Rocket Science: Perchlorate and the Toxic Legacy of the Cold War." Perchlorate, the explosive main ingredient of missile and rocket fuel, has been detected in 58 California public water systems and in water or soil in 17 other states.
