Iodate
Iodate is an iodate is a salt of iodic acid. Because it is more stable than iodide, most health authorities preferentially recommend iodate as an additive to salt for correcting iodine deficiency. Even in a low exposure, doubts have been raised whether the safety of iodate. In humans and rats, oral bioavailability of iodine from iodate is virtually equivalent to that from iodide. When given intravenously to rats, or when added to whole blood or tissue homogenates in vitro or to foodstuff, iodate is quantitatively reduced to iodide by nonenzymatic reactions, and thus becomes available to the body as iodide. Therefore, except perhaps for the gastrointestinal mucosa, exposure of tissues to iodate might be minimal. At much higher doses given intravenously (i.e., above 10 mg/kg), iodate is highly toxic to the retina. Ocular toxicity in humans has occurred only after exposure to doses of 600 to 1,200 mg per individual. Oral exposures of several animal species to high doses, exceeding the human intake from fortified salt by orders of magnitude, pointed to corrosive effects in the gastrointestinal tract, hemolysis, nephrotoxicity, and hepatic injury. Genotoxicity and carcinogenicity data for iodate are scarce or nonexistent. (PMID: 11396703). An iodate is a salt of iodic acid.

Chlorate
The chlorate anion has the formula ClO3−. In this case, the chlorine atom is in the +5 oxidation state. "Chlorate" can also refer to chemical compounds containing this anion; chlorates are the salts of chloric acid. "Chlorate", when followed by a roman numeral in parenthesis, e.g. chlorate(VII), refers to a particular oxyanion of chlorine. As predicted by VSEPR, chlorate anions have trigonal pyrimidal structures. Chlorates are powerful oxidizers and should be kept away from organics or easily oxidized materials. Chlorates were once widely used in pyrotechnics, though their use has fallen due to their instability. Most pyrotechnic applications which used chlorates in the past now use perchlorates instead (Wikipedia). Chlorates are inorganic salts of chloric acid that contain the ClO3- ion. Chlorate is a selective inhibitor of the synthesis of the high energy donor of sulfate 3-phosphoadenosine 5-phosphosulfate (PAPS). High endothelial venules (HEVs) are specialized post-capillary venules found in lymphoid tissues, that support high levels of lymphocyte extravasation from the blood; sulfation is key to the uniqueness of the HEV ligands and PAPS synthesis is required for sulfation. (PMID: 9498065). Chlorate is a sulfate analogue that has been found to be a potent and nontoxic inhibitor of sulfation. Tyrosine sulfation is a widespread posttranslational modification that occurs in the trans Golgi in a reaction catalyzed by tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase. Tyrosine sulfation has been found to be irreversible, resulting in a life-long alteration in the phenotype of the secretory proteins. The intracellular transport kinetics of a secretory protein and the biological activity of certain neuropeptides have been found to be affected by this modification. (PMID: 3288098). Na chlorate intoxication can occur mainly through poisoning by herbicides containing chlorate salts. (PMID: 10831921, 2239069). The chlorate anion has the formula ClO3−.

Chlorite
The chlorite ion is ClO2-. A chlorite (compound) is a compound that contains this group, with chlorine in oxidation state +3. Chlorites are also known as salts of chlorous acid.
