Perchlorate is a man-made compound used in the production of solid rocket fuel, fireworks, air bags, and munitions. It is odorless, colorless and tasteless and can form either an acid or salt in combination with other elements such as sodium or ammonium. Perchlorate is soluble, mobile in ground and surface water and degrades slowly in the environment.
