Popis: | The perchlorate ion competitively blocks iodine from entering the thyroid gland, which may lead to a decrease in production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) that are essential for neurodevelopment (Wolff, J., 1998). The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established in 2005 a reference dose for perchlorate of 0.7 µ g (kg body weight) -1 day |
