Ellington, J J. AND J J. Evans. OCCURRENCE OF PERCHLORATE ANION IN PLANT ORGANS: METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND RESULTS OF ANALYSIS OF SELECTED PLANTS. Presented at 20th Annual Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry Meeting, Philadelphia, PA, November 14-18, 1999.
Description:
Perchlorate has recently been detected in ground and surface waters in several western states. Perchlorate is a rnobile and persistent oxy anion of chlorine. Ongoing laboratory studies demonstrated that perchlorate is transported from perchlorate fortified soil to the plant and accumulated in the plant tissues and organs. A standardized method for the analysis of perchlorate in plants was developed, based on dry weight, and applied to the analysis of contaminated plants.
