Hydrogeochemistry and Health Risk Assessment of groundwater and surface water in fluoride affected area of Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri District, Telangana State, India
Abstract Water is an indispensable and crucial component of the life sustenance system. According to the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), groundwater in 276 Districts in 20 States is contaminated with Fluoride. Considering the fact that Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district’s majority depend on groundwater for drinking. Fluoride a menace to this source is a cause for concern. […]
External control of fluoridation in the public water supplies of Brazilian cities as a strategy against caries: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Among the methods currently available to provide fluoride in population levels, fluoridated water is the most successful for presenting high efficacy, safety and good cost–benefit. However, recent studies on external control have shown great variability of fluoride concentrations in the water from treatment stations in Brazilian cities, which must present concentration between 0.6 and […]
Vote: Should the water fluoridation community poll go ahead at the Port Macquarie-Hastings council elections?
VOTE IN OUR POLL: Should the community poll on water fluoridation go ahead at the council elections on December 4? IT is a debate that divides – should the local water supply be fluoridated or not? Port Macquarie-Hastings Council will run a community poll at the December 4 council elections to gauge public opinion, despite […]
Spokane Council Votes To Move Ahead With Fluoridation Study
The Spokane City Council voted Monday night to change an agreement to allow the city to study the feasibility of fluoridating the city water supply. The agreement means the city will accept $600,000 from the Arcora Foundation without worry that it will have to re-pay the money if the city decides not to fluoridate. The […]
Historical drill cores in Greenland reveal promising rare earths for Eclipse Metals
Eclipse Metals found europium present in 50-year-old drill cores at several times greater than average concentration. Perth-based Eclipse Metals (ASX: EPM) has found drilling done more than 50 years ago at its recently-acquired mothballed Ivittuut cryolite mine in Greenland intersected rare earths — but these elements were not pursued at the time. Six diamond holes […]
Port Macquarie-Hastings. Letter: Accumulating science shows fluoride consumption is dangerous to health
Mark Stewart (Port News, 12 August) is wrong on several counts. First, he trots out the ridiculous strawman comparison of fluoridation with folate and seats belts. Folate is a nutrient, fluoride is not. And, Mark, when last I checked seat belts are not consumed. If it weren’t so serious, such arguments would be laughable. Second, […]
Spokane City Council moves forward with amended fluoridation proposal
SPOKANE, Wash. — Spokane is now one step closer toward potentially adding fluoride to the city’s drinking water. There’s a consensus amongst health experts that fluoridated water benefits dental health, especially that of children, but Spokane voters have rejected fluoridation proposals three times in the past. In the fall of 2020, Spokane City Council moved […]
Thermal behaviors, combustion mechanisms, evolved gasses, and ash analysis of spent potlining for a hazardous waste management
Highlights Thermal degradation behaviors of spent potlining (SPL) were quantified. An exothermic reaction dominated the overall reaction process. Fluoride volatilization rate in the flue gasses was 2.24%. Kinetic triplets pointed to the best-fit reaction model as the n-th order mechanism. The mineral deposition mechanisms and ash slagging tendency were predicted. Abstract An unavoidable but reusable […]
City of Spokane will considers fluoride study funded by $600,000 grant
City officials are set to study water fluoridation. (DAN PELLE/THE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW) The city of Spokane is poised to study the feasibility of adding fluoride to its water supply. Pending the City Council’s approval on Monday, the city plans to use $600,000 in grant funding to study fluoridation. Under a proposed amendment to a contract […]
