Occurrence of perchlorate in indoor dust from the United States and eleven other countries: Implications for human exposure
Perchlorate
is a widespread environmental contaminant and potent thyroid hormone disrupting
compound. Despite this, very little is known with regard to the occurrence of
this compound in indoor dust and the exposure of humans to perchlorate through
dust ingestion.
In
this study, 366 indoor dust samples were collected from 12 countries, the USA,
Colombia, Greece, Romania, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, India,
Vietnam, and China, during 2010-2014. Dust samples were extracted by 1% (v/v)
methylamine in water.
Analyte
separation was achieved by an ion exchange (AS-21) column and analysis was
performed by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
(HPLC-MS/MS). The overall concentrations of perchlorate in dust were in the
range of 0.02-104 mu g/g (geometric mean: 0.41 mu g/g). The indoor dust samples
from China contained the highest concentrations (geometric mean: 5.38 mu g/g).
No
remarkable differences in perchlorate concentrations in dust were found among
various microenvironments (i.e., car, home, office, and laboratory).
The
estimated median daily intake (EDI) of perchlorate for toddlers through dust
ingestion in the USA, Colombia, Greece, Romania, Japan, Korea, Pakistan,
Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, India, Vietnam, and China was 1.89, 0.37, 1.71, 0.74,
4.90, 720, 0.60, 0.80, 1.55, 0.70, 2.15, and 21.3 ng/kg body weight (bw)/day,
respectively.
Although
high concentrations of perchlorate were measured in some dust samples, the
contribution of dust to total perchlorate intake was <5% of the total
perchlorate intake in humans. This is the first multinational survey on the
occurrence of perchlorate in indoor dust.
