Perchlorates are toxic salts made up of chlorine and oxygen.
They’re found on Mars at concentrations 1,000,000 times higher than on Earth .
This contamination means the Martian regolith won’t let plants grow on Mars .
Microorganisms break down perchlorates and turn the soil into something plants can grow in.
NASA and the National Science Foundation are funding research on this idea.
