Scientists warn that the chemical,known as perchlorate, could cause thyroid deficiency in more than 2.2million women of childbearing age. This thyroid deficiency could damage thefetus of pregnant women, if left untreated. Perchlorate, the explosiveingredient in solid rocket fuel, has leaked from military bases anddefense and aerospace contractors' plants in at least 22 states,contaminating drinking water for millions of Americans. Despite massivecomplaints, defense contractors such as Kerr-McGee have done little or nothingto clean up the pollution. Perchlorate has also been widely detected inmilk, lettuce, produce and other foods. In an alarming study, the CDCfound perchlorate in the urine of every person tested.
