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. ，甲狀腺癌，結節性甲狀腺腫，乳腺疾病，干擾月經週期，免疫系統功能障礙，惡劣的胎兒發育，精神發育遲滯的新生兒。 “一書由瑪麗j.莊門， 生活以及與甲狀腺功能減退症：什麼你的醫生並沒有告訴你…你需要知道（修訂版） ，報告說，在地區最大的數額高氯酸鹽的污染，利率先天性甲狀腺功能低下症是比平常高很多，這意味著孕婦需要特別關心這一點。 To illustrate the severity of the problem, a CDC為了說明問題的嚴重性，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 ％的婦女在美國的低碘攝入量，只要對任何暴露於高氯酸鹽在所有相關的是一個重大變化，在甲狀腺激素水平。 That’s over one in three women.也就是超過1在3名婦女。 Moreover, the Organic Consumers Association此外，有機消費者協會 reports報告 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.對於每一個出10的這些婦女，如果他們暴露在少5個ppb的高氯酸鹽在飲用水，隨後激素的影響將需要治療懷孕期間為亞臨床甲狀腺功能低下症。 Fatigued, Depressed, and Overweight? 疲倦，消沉，和超重？ If a woman is overly fatigued, depressed or如果一個女人是過於疲勞，沮喪或 overweight超重 , she may be suffering from hypothyroidism caused by perchlorate contamination. ，她可能患有甲狀腺功能低下所造成的高氯酸鹽污染。 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.根據博士的權力外，還有很多其他的症狀，甲狀腺功能低下症，如脆釘子，窮人的記憶，便秘，月經異常，高膽固醇，窮人集中，煩躁不安，皮膚乾燥，乾燥的頭髮，脫髮和更多。 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.想想令人沮喪的，它可能為一女，誰是喝很多水，吃大量的健康沙拉，但沒有作出任何的進展，減重，由於甲狀腺疾病所造成的高氯酸鹽攝入。 Clearly, anyone who has the above symptoms should consult a qualified health care provider immediately.顯然，誰擁有上述症狀，應諮詢合資格的衛生保健提供者立即。 Check the Water Supply 檢查供水 One thing everyone can do is to check their water supplies.一件事，每個人都可以做的是要檢查他們的食水供應。 A字母a map地圖 provided by the EPA shows the location of all of the perchlorate releases as of April 2003.所提供的環保局顯示的位置，所有的高氯酸鹽的新聞稿，截至2003年4月。 The那個 Environmental Working Group環境工作組 (EWG) also provides a （ ewg ）也提供了一個 table桌子 of where top soil or ground water is contaminated by perchlorate and a哪裡最土壤或地下水污染的高氯酸鹽和 table桌子 that shows sites of known perchlorate use in 36 states.這表明網站已知的高氯酸鹽的使用在36個國家。 As previously noted, many who live near the Colorado River are affected (about 20 million people).如前所述，許多誰住附近的科羅拉多河，受影響的（約20萬人） 。 Install a Water Filter 安裝水過濾器 Those who live in areas that have been contaminated should definitely install a那些住在誰的地區已被污染的一定要安裝 water filter水過濾器 capable of removing perchlorate, probably some type of reverse osmosis filter.能去除高氯酸鹽，可能某些類型的反滲透過濾器。 These filters won’t remove all of the perchlorate, but it is best to reduce the amount of perchlorate to the extent possible.這些過濾器將不會消除所有的高氯酸鹽，但它是最好的，以減少金額高氯酸鹽，以在可能的範圍內。 Reverse osmosis filters won’t remove things like radon from the water and are probably best combined with a carbon filter.反滲透過濾器將無法移除的東西一樣，氡氣從水和可能的最佳結合碳過濾器。 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.不用說，那些與兒童就讀使用受污染的水與高氯酸鹽應採取行動，要求學校安裝適當的過濾器，也作為飲用水高氯酸鹽污染的水可能會導致發展遲緩的兒童，根據醫生的權力。 Get Sufficient Iodine 獲得足夠的碘 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，是沒有出路的，以消除高氯酸鹽來自被污染的蔬菜，和購買有機農產品，不利於當談到高氯酸鹽。 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 ，可以嘗試購買的蔬菜是沒有增長的地區，使用受污染的水灌溉農作物，不過，這可能將是不可能的，為最廣大人民的。 Obviously, people can’t stop eating.顯然，人們不能停止進食。 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.不過，這是絕對必要的，以確保一個人的飲食已足夠數額的碘，企圖以彌補任何高氯酸鹽攝入。 Some people may wish to supplement with kelp or eat more有些人可能想補充與海帶或吃更多 sea vegetables海上蔬菜 , but it is best to discuss the proper dosage of any supplements with a qualified healthcare provider. ，但它是最好的討論適當劑量的任何補充，符合條件的醫療保健提供商。 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最後，還有一點可以做的是寫信給國會議員，並要求人民的誰污染 the environment環境 with perchlorate clean it up now.與高氯酸鹽清潔了。 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,有不少人在一些社區在加州有水已中毒的高氯酸鹽是被起訴的15 ％ ，附加費，收拾殘局所作的污染者， reports報告 The Gilroy Dispatch . 該gilroy調度 。 This is so wrong.這是錯誤的。 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根據參議員範因斯坦從加利福尼亞州， “幾乎所有的高氯酸鹽已製作完成由國防部和其承辦商及在該國的航天計劃， ”也許每個人都應該寫信給 NASA美國航天局 and The Department of Defense and complain, too.和防禦部門和抱怨，太。 The EPA has not established a maximum legal limit in環保署竟沒有成立了一個最高的法律限制在 tap water自來水 for perchlorate, according to a為高氯酸鹽，根據一項 database數據庫 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.這是驚人的-有幾百萬人在美國的飲用水已被污染，這毒素。 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!由於高氯酸鹽是目前不受管制的在自來水，有沒有違反記錄，在EPA的侵犯數據庫，具有諷刺意味的標示為“安全飲用水的信息系統。 ”同時，根據目前的聯邦自來水法，任何級別的高氯酸鹽是合法的！ That’s right.說的權利。 Water suppliers are not even required to test for perchlorate.水的供應商，甚至沒有要求，以測試為高氯酸鹽。 Given the health implications of perchlorate ingestion, the stupidity of this kind of lack of regulation is just incredible.鑑於健康的影響，高氯酸鹽攝入，愚蠢，這種缺乏規管，只是令人難以置信。 Write to the EPA, and let them know that this lack of regulation is just insanity.寫信給環保局，並讓他們知道，這缺乏規管，只是精神錯亂。 A Wake-up Call 暮鼓晨鐘，喚醒了電話 When people have to be concerned with drinking a glass of water or eating a salad, there is a problem.當人們不得不擔心飲用一杯水或吃沙拉，有一個問題。 The FDA FDA的 reports報告 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該抑制碘攝取高氯酸鹽是一種“前體可導致甲狀腺功能減退症” ，懷孕婦女及她們的胎兒是“最敏感的人群向健康的影響，高氯酸鹽” ，如何將壞的情況，必須取得前的環境監管將無法再忽視群眾中毒該國的食品和 water supply供水 ? ？ Contact Information 聯繫信息 Contact
