Science for You: About that water fluoridation debate …
Note from Fluoride Action Network, There are serious errors in the following article, particularly: Statement: Evidence from European countries that use fluoridated water shows that it results in big declines in tooth decay. Reality: How can one get “big declines” when less than 3% of European countries fluoridate their drinking water? Also, these non-fluoridating countries […]

Fluorosis study. ADA: Study investigates cellular mechanism behind dental fluorosis
Researchers analyzed effects of exposing tooth enamel cells to excessive amounts of fluoride New York — Results from an NYU College of Dentistry study suggest how excess fluoride exposure affects the cells forming tooth enamel — possibly explaining how dental fluorosis arises. Science Signaling, a peer-reviewed scientific journal published weekly by the American Association for […]

Potsdam fluoride system bid goes over maximum, project on hold for now
POTSDAM — The installation of a new fluoride system for municipal water to replace the old failing system is on hold for the time being because the only bid received for the project was higher than the village had prepared for. Options now are “working with the bidder to discuss the price” with the hope […]

Fluorosis study: High exposure to fluoride can weaken tooth enamel
Excerpt for the historical record “The benefits of fluoride for oral health considerably outweigh the risks,” said researcher Rodrigo Lacruz. While one recent study explored how it can be easy for kids to get too much fluoride when they brush their teeth, researchers from New York University are now explaining why all consumers should be […]

Removal of fluoride from fertilizer industry effluent using carbon nanotubes stabilized in chitosan sponge
Highlights All assays were performed using gas scrubber effluent from the production of fertilizer industry. Carbon nanotube was anchored onto chitosan sponge and used like adsorbent. The adsorption capacity for fluoride reach around 975.4?mg?g?1 in kinetic assays. Reuse and regeneration were investigated and 5 cycles were obtained. The adsorption capacity kept similar values in all […]

Is your drinking water safe? 350,000 Utahns receiving water from systems with known problems
SALT LAKE CITY — It’s been a little more than a year since a malfunction in a Sandy drinking water pump led to an overfeed of fluoride — 100 times over the maximum limit — delivering contaminated water to close to 300 homes. An estimated 350 illnesses resulted, including an infant who drank the water […]

Fluorosis study: Study Reveals How Too Much Fluoride Causes Defects in Tooth Enamel
Excerpt “The benefits of fluoride for oral health considerably outweigh the risks. But given how common dental fluorosis is and how poorly understood the cellular mechanisms responsible for this disease are, it is important to study this problem,” said Rodrigo Lacruz, PhD, associate professor of basic science and craniofacial biology at NYU College of Dentistry […]
