TERA, in association with the U.S. Air
Force, U.S. EPA, the Perchlorate Study Group (PSG) and others,
has helped develop a research program and protocols for studies
on ammonium perchlorate that will fill in data gaps that
currently exist in the toxicology database. A protocol review
panel reviewed the protocols of the initial round of studies
before they were initiated. The U.S. Department of Defense and
the Perchlorate Study Group are funding these studies.
Several of these studies have been completed
and incorporated into a reassessment of the perchlorate RfD
by the U.S. EPA in 1999 and 2002.
