Application of Octacalcium Phosphate With an Innovative Household-Scale Defluoridator Prototype and Behavioral Determinants of Its Adoption in Rural Communities of the East African Rift Valley
Abstract Natural fluoride contamination of drinking water is a serious issue that affects several countries of the world. Its negative health impact is well documented in the East African Rift Valley, where water consumption with fluoride concentration greater than 1.5 mg/L can cause fluorosis to people. Within the framework of the EU Horizon2020 “FLOWERED” project […]

New Australian Fluoride Guidelines released
The use of fluorides is a cornerstone in the prevention of tooth decay in Australia, with fluoridated water in particular being a mainstay of preventive efforts since the 1970s. There are multiple ways in which Australians can access fluoride to protect and strengthen their teeth, ranging from consuming fluoridated water to brushing daily with fluoridated […]

Rapid and extremely high adsorption performance of porous MgO nanostructures for fluoride removal from water
Highlights Porous MgO nanostructures of different morphology have been synthesized. The synthesized MgO nanostructures showed excellent adsorption capacities for fluoride. The Langmuir adsorption capacity are varied from 5716 to 15,691 mg g-1 at 303 K. The adsorption primarily followed pseudo-second-order kinetic. The adsorbents are reusable for successive use up to fifth cycle. Abstract Fluoride is a […]

Fear Of Fluoridation Ignores Science And Common Sense
Note from the Fluoride Action Network, This Editorial is frustrating because the Editorial Board put its trust in the promoters of fluoridation. They did not take into account the following: 1. Fluoride is an endocrine disruptor (2nd paragraph; NAS, 2006). 2. Over 60 studies have reported an association of fluoride exposure with reduced IQ in […]
