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 — 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Excerpt The example of sodium fluoride (NaF) clearly demonstrates an instance where increasing bone mass while altering maturation can negatively affect drug efficacy. NaF was a promising osteoporosis treatment because it increased BMD.5 However, it became evident that the treated patients were at increased risk of fracture,6, 7 which was later attributed to NaF-induced aberrant […]
COHOES — Environmental groups are suing to stop the burning of the highly toxic chemical compounds PFOA and PFOS at the Norlite incineration plant in Cohoes. The chemicals have been burned at the plant under a 2019 U.S. Department of Defense contract to incinerate firefighting foam containing PFOA and PFOS that have been stored at […]
Port Macquarie-Hastings’ mayor will push for a poll on water fluoridation to coincide with the next local government election. According to the February 19 council meeting agenda, Mayor Peta Pinson will move a motion for a poll to run in conjunction with the September 2020 election. The poll will enable the community to indicate whether […]
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 […]
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 […]
Excerpt: The US Public Health Service’s current recommendation2 for fluoride concentration in drinking water for the prevention of tooth decay is 0.7 parts per million. “The ingestion of fluoride at the recommended levels by health organizations is safe and has positive effects,” says Lacruz. Findings help elucidate the molecular mechanisms that cause dental fluorosis. At low […]
