Description
Abstract: Results from a series of laboratory tests conducted by the Santa Clara Valley Water (District) confirm that highway safety flares can be a significant source of perchlorate (CI04-) contamination to water, even when flares burn completely. Up to 3,500,000 *mg of perchlorate ions leached out of a single standard 20-minute unburned flare in just 3.5 hrs of contact with clean water. Fully burned flares leached up to 1,950 *mg of perchlorate ions per flare.
