| Abstract | Toxic oxyanions such as nitrate (NO3−) and perchlorate (ClO4−) are persistent pollutants that have been detected in groundwater, surface water, and drinking water sources in the United States and worldwide. The consumption of drinking water containing toxic oxyanions can adversely impact human health. Ion exchange (IX) and reverse osmosis (RO) are the best commercially available technologies for removing toxic oxyanions from drinking water sources. However, IX and RO do not destroy contaminants. |
