Pregnant women exposed to perchlorate risk unintentionally exposing their fetuses to significant harm. Typically, iodide is transported by NIS from the placenta into the fetus’ bloodstream, enabling the fetus to produce thyroid hormones. When a pregnant woman drinks perchlorate-contaminated water, the fetus does not receive or produce enough thyroid hormones to develop into a healthy baby. Because NIS is also present in the lactating breast, nursing newborns receive both more perchlorate and less iodide when the mothers have been exposed to perchlorate. This causes the newborns to produce less of their own thyroid hormones. As a result, the central nervous system and other tissues can be irreversibly damaged in infancy if the iodide deficiency is not treated.

According to EPA, perchlorate is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the arid regions of the U.S., in fertilizer deposits in Chile, and in potash ore in the U.S. and Canada. The chemical is used to manufacture rocket fuel and explosives. Because perchlorate dissolves easily and is mobile in water, it’s frequently detected in water supplies near sites where rocket fuel is used or made.

The Carrasco laboratory and its collaborators have previ ously shown that NIS has at least a 10 times greater affinity for perchlorate than for iodide, meaning that if there were equal concentrations of iodide and perchlorate in the bloodstream, the protein would bring perchlorate into the thyroid in far greater quantities than iodide.

The research was done in collaboration with Dr. L. Mario Amzel, professor and director of the department of biophysics and biophysical chemistry at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and Dr. Geoffrey Abbott, professor of pharmacology at University of California at Irvine.
