I covered a Texas Tech study that showed how perchlorate can be passed to babies via breast milk. That was in... 2005. The EPA's recent decision is extremely disappointing. https://www.wired.com/2005/02/rocket-fuel-fed-to-newborns/

(An aside: Reporters don't usually choose their own headlines. I fought and lost a battle with my editor on that one.)

Riverside California also performed tests showing high levels of perchlorate in the drinking water at about the same time. The test results have not slowed residential growth in Riverside.

I'd love to see test results from Lompoc. Actually, anyone living within 10 miles of a military base needs to pay attention to their water quality.
