- Title
Recent Developments in Environmental Law Emerging Litigation with Perchlorate Contamination.
- Authors
Brister, Tina
- Abstract
The article focuses on laws regarding perchlorate contamination in the U.S. Perchlorate-related environmental claims have emerged as a result of the new ability to detect perchlorate at low-level concentrations and the increasing detection of perchlorate in drinking water supplies. In California, there has been a struggle to regulate perchlorate amidst fluctuating standards of safe levels of consumption in drinking water. Perchlorate is both a naturally occurring and a man-made chemical that exists as a part of other salts. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has conducted a research on the maximum contaminant level (MCL). The Environmental Protection Agency has exhausted efforts in determining a MCL for perchlorate.
