A GOP state lawmaker in Kentucky on Tuesday got called out by the president of his state’s top dental association for spouting conspiracy theories about fluoride in drinking water. As reported by the Lexington Herald-Leader’s Alex Acquisto, Republican State Sen. Stephen West falsely claimed during a legislative committee hearing that putting fluoride in drinking water […]
Note from Fluoride Action Network: The National Post, a Canadian newspaper, is controversial and provocative. The paper has taken a committed position to support the fluoridation of drinking water and chooses to denigrate those who have a different opinion. At the top of this online article is a photo of Professor Christine Till as well […]
Highlights Recent developments in fluoride removal from water by adsorption are reviewed. Four technical strategies are proposed for designing of adsorbents. Transfering the adsorption process to industrial scale is urgently needed. Fluoride adsorption and desorption in field condition need further investigation. Abstract Fluoride contamination in water environment due to natural and artificial activities has been […]
Abstract Public schools in most rural areas of South Africa depend on untreated groundwater due to unreliable water supply by the municipalities. This has the potential to cause water-related health problems to school children. Temperature, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC) were measured in situ. Chemical (fluoride, chloride, sulphate, phosphate, nitrate, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium) […]
Today, nearly every glass of Kentucky tap water contains trace amounts of fluoride, a mineral added for the past seven decades to reduce tooth … *A subscription is needed to read the full article at https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article224016285.html

It is essential not only to detect but also to accurately quantify aqueous F– to ensure safety. […]
*PDF of study online at http://fluoridealert.org/wp-content/uploads/glauser-2020.pdf Abstract The dataset presented in this article is the supplementary data for the research article “Ten-years monitoring of MSWI bottom ashes with focus on TOC development and leaching behaviour” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2020.07.038) by Glauser et al. (2020) [1]. From 2008–2018 bottom ashes have been monitored in six MSWI plants in the Canton […]
Highlights The hollow Lanthanum-aluminum perovskite was first applied to remove fluoride. The species of F–, HF, HF2– played a more important role at different pH. The Lanthanum sites had more important effect than Aluminum at higher pH. Higher concentrations of fluoride required more Aluminum than Lanthanum sites. Abstract We investigated the adsorption mechanisms for removing […]
You have got to be kidding me! I can’t believe the city of Spokane will actually take the proffered money dangled by … wait for it … Arcora Foundation (the philanthorpic nonprofit of dental insurer Delta Dental) to “study” whether it would be beneficial to add fluoride to the drinking water! And, if they don’t […]
Overview Community water fluoridation is the process of adjusting the amount of fluoride in drinking water to a level recommended for preventing tooth decay.1 More than 75 years of research and experience shows that community water fluoridation is a safe and healthy practice.2 Community water fluoridation remains one of the most cost-effective methods of delivering […]
