Abstract: Perchlorate anion (ClO4-) has been found in environmental and
biological systems such as ground water, surface water, soil, fruit, dairy
milk, breast milk, plant tissues, beverages, urine and blood etc. High amount
of perchlorate leads to toxicity by inhibiting the iodide uptake in
sodium-iodide symporter (NIS) protein system; therefore thyroid hormones can’t
be synthesized.The permissible limit of perchlorate in drinking water is 15ng/mL
proposed by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). It is
measured in environmental and biological matrices by applying various
techniques. This paper reviews the sources, toxicity, different techniques
applied in estimation of perchlorate and its remediation. Different sources of
perchlorate in environment and its toxicity has been discussed. For the removal
of perchlorate many biological and chemical processes have been applied. This
paper also highlights traditional and novel techniques employed for trace level
determination of perchlorate in different matrices. The various merits and
demerits of instrumental techniques employed have also been discussed.
Keywords: Perchlorate, Oxidizer, Thyroid dysfunction, Permissible limit,
Instrumental techniques.
