[CPEO-MEF] EPA tests for perchlorate in Oregon watermelons

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has prepared a fact sheet 
summarizing the results of watermelon sampling in Oregon in 2006. EPA 
collected watermelons at several locations in northern Morrow and 
northwestern Umatilla Counties as part of an ongoing effort to learn 
more about the presence of perchlorate in the local environment and the 
potential for health concerns from exposure to perchlorate in water and 
food crops.
