Mefloquine Molecular formula: C17-H16-F6-N2-O Molecula structure: Excerpt from article on Sara Thompson, a Peace Corps Whistleblower: … Shortly after arriving in Burkina Faso, Thompson was given an anti-malaria medication called mefloquine (also known as Lariam, the brand name). Thompson received a concentrated dose for the first three days, contrary to CDC recommendations. The Peace Corps […]
Abstract The hydrofluorocarbon 245 isomers, 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane, 1,1,1,2,2- pentafluoropropane, and 1,1,1,2,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa, HFC-245cb, and HFC-245eb) were activated through C–F bond activations using aluminium chlorofluoride (ACF) as a catalyst. The addition of the hydrogen source Et3SiH is necessary for the activation of the secondary and tertiary C–F bonds. Multiple C–F bond activations such as hydrodefluorinations and dehydrofluorinations […]
Local communities have received national fluoridation quality awards for their water systems for demonstrating continued commitment to quality. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is recognizing 71 Michigan public water systems who won a Water Fluoridation Quality Award from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among the local water systems that […]

Abstract Groundwater quality and associated health risk in the arid environment, Rabigh basin, Western Saudi Arabia, was assessed using an integrated approach namely groundwater suitability zone (GWSZ) maps, drinking water quality index (DWQI), irrigation water quality (IWQ) parameters, irrigation water quality index (IWQI), chronic daily index (CDI), and hazard quotient (HQ). Groundwater samples were collected […]
Note from Fluoride Action Network (EC): Only nine toothpastes are listed as there was a duplicate (#7 and 10 are the same). • Five of the 9 toothpastes contain fluoride (#s 1,2,4,6,9) #2 contains fluoristat which is a fluoride toothpaste. “The active ingredient of Crest was changed in 1981 to sodium monofluorophosphate, or “Fluoristat” – […]
CDC works closely with other federal agencies, external experts, and researchers to gather and publish recommendations around various health topics. Below are links to those related to fluoride in water. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services In 2015, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services published U.S. Public Health Service Recommendation for Fluoride […]
Abstract A coumarin-based probe, FP2, was designed for the differential detection of fluoride anions and thiols, i.e., the corresponding nucleophilic substitution products from fluorine-containing G agents and sulfur-containing V agents, thus having the potential to discriminate between these two nerve agents. FP2 with two functional reaction groups, a, B-unsaturated ketone and silyl groups, can react […]
Tulane researcher selects Echolight for monitoring bone quality in fluoride-exposed populations NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A study funded by NIH (National Institutes of Health) will focus on environmental impacts on community bone quality. The study will be led by Dr. Tewodros Godebo, assistant professor of environmental health sciences at Tulane University School of […]
Note from Fluoride Action Network, Below is the survey that was publicly released online in Humboldt County. See the article on the survey at: What do you think about fluoride? Local health officials would like to hear it. Chris L. Coker, research analyst at the California Center for Rural Policy, explains: “The California Center for […]
