Fig. 4. Perchlorate concentrations over time in unamended and acetate-amended fresh Columbia loam flooded batch experiments. Each point for the unamended flasks represents an average (± standard deviation) of three replicates. Each replicate is shown separately for the flasks to which acetate was added. Perchlorate in sterile controls was not degraded.
