Prophylaxis with perchlorate-containing water at concentrations of 17 ppm, corresponding to 0.5 mg/(kg·d) intake for a person of 70 kg consuming 2 litres of water per day, was found to reduce the baseline of radioiodine uptake by 67% [10] This is equivalent to ingesting a total of just 35 mg of perchlorate ions per day.
