Shomon, Living Well with Hypothyroidism: What Your Doctor Doesn’t Tell You… That You Need to Know (Revised Edition) , reports that in areas with the greatest amount of perchlorate contamination, rates of congenital hypothyroidism are much higher than normal which means that pregnant mothers need to be particularly concerned about this. ，甲状腺癌，结节性甲状腺肿，乳腺疾病，干扰月经周期，免疫系统功能障碍，恶劣的胎儿发育，精神发育迟滞的新生儿。 “一书由玛丽j.庄门， 生活以及与甲状腺功能减退症：什么你的医生并没有告诉你…你需要知道（修订版） ，报告说，在地区最大的数额高氯酸盐的污染，利率先天性甲状腺功能低下症是比平常高很多，这意味着孕妇需要特别关心这一点。 To illustrate the severity of the problem, a CDC为了说明问题的严重性，疾病控制中心 study研究 demonstrated that in the 36% of women in the US with low iodine intake, just about any exposure to perchlorate at all was associated with a substantial change in levels of thyroid hormone.表明，在36 ％的妇女在美国的低碘摄入量，只要对任何暴露于高氯酸盐在所有相关的是一个重大变化，在甲状腺激素水平。 That’s over one in three women.也就是超过1在3名妇女。 Moreover, the Organic Consumers Association此外，有机消费者协会 reports报告 that for every one out of ten of these women, if they were exposed to as little as 5 ppb of perchlorate in drinking water, the subsequent hormone disruption would require treatment during pregnancy for sub-clinical hypothyroidism.对于每一个出10的这些妇女，如果他们暴露在少5个ppb的高氯酸盐在饮用水，随后激素的影响将需要治疗怀孕期间为亚临床甲状腺功能低下症。 Fatigued, Depressed, and Overweight? 疲倦，消沉，和超重？ If a woman is overly fatigued, depressed or如果一个女人是过于疲劳，沮丧或 overweight超重 , she may be suffering from hypothyroidism caused by perchlorate contamination. ，她可能患有甲状腺功能低下所造成的高氯酸盐污染。 According to Dr. Power, there are many other symptoms of hypothyroidism such as brittle nails, poor memory, constipation, menstrual irregularities, high cholesterol, poor concentration, irritability, dry skin, dry hair, hair loss and more.根据博士的权力外，还有很多其他的症状，甲状腺功能低下症，如脆钉子，穷人的记忆，便秘，月经异常，高胆固醇，穷人集中，烦躁不安，皮肤干燥，干燥的头发，脱发和更多。 Imagine how frustrating it might be for a woman who is drinking lots of water and eating lots of healthy salads but isn’t making any progress losing weight due to thyroid disease caused by perchlorate ingestion.想想令人沮丧的，它可能为一女，谁是喝很多水，吃大量的健康沙拉，但没有作出任何的进展，减重，由于甲状腺疾病所造成的高氯酸盐摄入。 Clearly, anyone who has the above symptoms should consult a qualified health care provider immediately.显然，谁拥有上述症状，应咨询合资格的卫生保健提供者立即。 Check the Water Supply 检查供水 One thing everyone can do is to check their water supplies.一件事，每个人都可以做的是要检查他们的食水供应。 A字母a map地图 provided by the EPA shows the location of all of the perchlorate releases as of April 2003.所提供的环保局显示的位置，所有的高氯酸盐的新闻稿，截至2003年4月。 The那个 Environmental Working Group环境工作组 (EWG) also provides a （ ewg ）也提供了一个 table桌子 of where top soil or ground water is contaminated by perchlorate and a哪里最土壤或地下水污染的高氯酸盐和 table桌子 that shows sites of known perchlorate use in 36 states.这表明网站已知的高氯酸盐的使用在36个国家。 As previously noted, many who live near the Colorado River are affected (about 20 million people).如前所述，许多谁住附近的科罗拉多河，受影响的（约20万人） 。 Install a Water Filter 安装水过滤器 Those who live in areas that have been contaminated should definitely install a那些住在谁的地区已被污染的一定要安装 water filter水过滤器 capable of removing perchlorate, probably some type of reverse osmosis filter.能去除高氯酸盐，可能某些类型的反渗透过滤器。 These filters won’t remove all of the perchlorate, but it is best to reduce the amount of perchlorate to the extent possible.这些过滤器将不会消除所有的高氯酸盐，但它是最好的，以减少金额高氯酸盐，以在可能的范围内。 Reverse osmosis filters won’t remove things like radon from the water and are probably best combined with a carbon filter.反渗透过滤器将无法移除的东西一样，氡气从水和可能的最佳结合碳过滤器。 Needless to say, those with children attending schools that use water contaminated with perchlorate should take action to demand that the schools install proper filters, too, as drinking perchlorate-contaminated water could cause developmental delays in children, according to Dr. Power.不用说，那些与儿童就读使用受污染的水与高氯酸盐应采取行动，要求学校安装适当的过滤器，也作为饮用水高氯酸盐污染的水可能会导致发展迟缓的儿童，根据医生的权力。 Get Sufficient Iodine 获得足够的碘 Unfortunately, there is no way to remove perchlorate from contaminated vegetables, and buying organic produce doesn’t help when it comes to perchlorate.不幸的是，是没有出路的，以消除高氯酸盐来自被污染的蔬菜，和购买有机农产品，不利于当谈到高氯酸盐。 One can try to purchase vegetables that aren’t grown in areas that use contaminated water to irrigate crops, but this probably won’t be possible for the majority of people. 1 ，可以尝试购买的蔬菜是没有增长的地区，使用受污染的水灌溉农作物，不过，这可能将是不可能的，为最广大人民的。 Obviously, people can’t stop eating.显然，人们不能停止进食。 However, it is absolutely essential to ensure that one’s diet has a sufficient amount of iodine to attempt to compensate for any perchlorate ingestion.不过，这是绝对必要的，以确保一个人的饮食已足够数额的碘，企图以弥补任何高氯酸盐摄入。 Some people may wish to supplement with kelp or eat more有些人可能想补充与海带或吃更多 sea vegetables海上蔬菜 , but it is best to discuss the proper dosage of any supplements with a qualified healthcare provider. ，但它是最好的讨论适当剂量的任何补充，符合条件的医疗保健提供商。 Write and Complain 收件和抱怨 Finally, one more thing that can be done is to write to lawmakers and demand that the people who are polluting最后，还有一点可以做的是写信给国会议员，并要求人民的谁污染 the environment环境 with perchlorate clean it up now.与高氯酸盐清洁了。 A number of people in some communities in California that have water that has been poisoned by perchlorate are being charged 15% surcharges to clean up the mess made by polluters,有不少人在一些社区在加州有水已中毒的高氯酸盐是被起诉的15 ％ ，附加费，收拾残局所作的污染者， reports报告 The Gilroy Dispatch . 该gilroy调度 。 This is so wrong.这是错误的。 According to Senator Feinstein from California, “Nearly all perchlorate has been produced by the Department of Defense and its contractors and in the country’s space programs.” Maybe everyone should write to根据参议员范因斯坦从加利福尼亚州， “几乎所有的高氯酸盐已制作完成由国防部和其承办商及在该国的航天计划， ”也许每个人都应该写信给 NASA美国航天局 and The Department of Defense and complain, too.和防御部门和抱怨，太。 The EPA has not established a maximum legal limit in环保署竟没有成立了一个最高的法律限制在 tap water自来水 for perchlorate, according to a为高氯酸盐，根据一项 database数据库 maintained by the EWG.由ewg 。 This is outrageous –- there are millions of people in the United States drinking water that has been contaminated with this toxin.这是惊人的-有几百万人在美国的饮用水已被污染，这毒素。 Since perchlorate is currently unregulated in tap water, there are no violations recorded in the EPA’s violations database, ironically labeled the “Safe Drinking Water Information System.” Meanwhile, under the current federal tap water law, any level of perchlorate is legal!由于高氯酸盐是目前不受管制的在自来水，有没有违反记录，在EPA的侵犯数据库，具有讽刺意味的标示为“安全饮用水的信息系统。 ”同时，根据目前的联邦自来水法，任何级别的高氯酸盐是合法的！ That’s right.说的权利。 Water suppliers are not even required to test for perchlorate.水的供应商，甚至没有要求，以测试为高氯酸盐。 Given the health implications of perchlorate ingestion, the stupidity of this kind of lack of regulation is just incredible.鉴于健康的影响，高氯酸盐摄入，愚蠢，这种缺乏规管，只是令人难以置信。 Write to the EPA, and let them know that this lack of regulation is just insanity.写信给环保局，并让他们知道，这缺乏规管，只是精神错乱。 A Wake-up Call 暮鼓晨钟，唤醒了电话 When people have to be concerned with drinking a glass of water or eating a salad, there is a problem.当人们不得不担心饮用一杯水或吃沙拉，有一个问题。 The FDA FDA的 reports报告 that the inhibition of iodine uptake by perchlorate is a “precursor that can lead to hypothyroidism,” and pregnant women and their fetuses are “the most sensitive populations to the health effects of perchlorate.” How bad will the situation have to get before environmental regulators will no longer be able to ignore the mass poisoning of the nation’s food and该抑制碘摄取高氯酸盐是一种“前体可导致甲状腺功能减退症” ，怀孕妇女及她们的胎儿是“最敏感的人群向健康的影响，高氯酸盐” ，如何将坏的情况，必须取得前的环境监管将无法再忽视群众中毒该国的食品和 water supply供水 ? ？ Contact Information 联系信息 Contact
