The Science on PFAS: Rebuttal to 3M’s Claims
For decades, 3M was a leading producer of the toxic fluorinated chemicals known as PFAS. As early as the 1950s, 3M’s own studies showed that PFAS chemicals built up in blood, and by the 1960s, 3M’s own animal studies showed the potential for harm. Yet 3M continued to produce PFAS chemicals without notifying its employees […]

Analysis of equilibrium, kinetic, and thermodynamic parameters for biosorption of fluoride from water onto coconut (Cocos nucifera Linn.) root developed adsorbent
Abstract Drinking water with higher fluoride levels results in serious irremediable health problems that have attained a startle all over the world. Researches focused towards deflouridation through the application of biosorbents prepared from various plants are finding greater scope and significance. Present research is done on Cocos nucifera Linn. (coconut tree) one of the very […]

Adsorption of fluoride from aqueous solution by fly ash cenospheres modified with paper mill lime mud: Experimental and modeling
Highlights A low-cost fly ash cenospheres modified with paper mill lime mud adsorbent was prepared. Response surface methodology was employed to research the effects on fluoride removal. Nonelectrostatic model-Generalized composite approach had successfully described and predicted the adsorption process. —SF and —SOHF– formed in the removal of fluoride via the ligand exchange and surface complexation.

Longmont stops fluoridation in light of global fluoride shortage
The city of Longmont has run out of fluoride at the Nelson-Flanders Water Treatment Plant. The City of Longmont has fluoridated its water supply since 1958, but due to the last sodium fluoride mine in the country shutting down its operations this year, supplies have been restricted all along the front range, leading Longmont to […]
