Short summary
Perchlorate can be a health concern due to its its ability to disrupt the thyroid gland's use of iodine. High perchlorate concentrations have been reported in chalk groundwater of Champagne-Ardennes (France). Water samples at 35 sampling points were analysed in order to determine the sources and behaviors of perchlorate. The preliminary results shows that most of the water samples showing high perchlorate levels were collected near a military camp, representing a potential source of perchlorate.
