Citation:
Urbansky*, E T. ASSESSMENT OF PERCHLORATE IN FERTILIZERS. Chapter 2, Environment Impact of Fertilizer on Soil and Water, American Chemical Society Symposium Series No 872. American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, , 16-31, (2003).
Impact/Purpose:
Published Book Chapter
Description:
Perchlorate has been positively detected only in those materials known to be derived from Chilean caliche, which constitute less than 0.2% of U.S. fertilizer application. The data obtained in the preponderance of investigations suggest that fertilizers do not contribute to environmental perchlorate contamination other than in the case of natural saltpeters or their derivatives. Consequently, fertilizers cannot be viewed as major contribution of perchlorate to the environement.
