Highlights Groundwater fluoride risk maps (>1.5 mg/L) created with >5000 data and machine learning for all of Pakistan. Arid climate and soil composition are statistically important predictors of geogenic fluoride contamination. The high-resolution maps reveal the vulnerable areas and the number of people exposed. An estimated 13 million people (6% of the population) are at […]
Black salt is a type of rock salt, a salty and pungent-smelling condiment used in the South Asia. It is also known as Himalayan black salt. Popularly known in Bangladesh as bit laban, it is a food additive for incrementing the taste of food. But it is not safe for health. Surprisingly, it is used […]
Fluoride will likely soon be added to thousands of Northlanders’ drinking water – as the government moves to impose the controversial additive’s inclusion in council water supplies.

Nizamabad: While the temperatures are rising with every passing day, the […]
Clean water scarcity is a major issue in today’s world, and the problem is only going to worsen with a changing climate. Desalinating brackish water or seawater is an established method to produce drinkable water, but it comes with huge energy costs. There’s no shortage of creative devices in the works, either using heat to […]
Voters in Sublimity were choosing to keep adding fluoride to their water. The city 15 miles east of Salem asked its residents if they wanted to continue to put fluoride in the drinking water, a practice the city has undertaken since 1955. Sublimity is one of 29 in the state that adds fluoride to its […]
Generational differences, or at least debates about them, crop up everywhere, and dentistry is no exception. It might seem like millennials should have better teeth than previous generations due to all the health information at their fingertips, but the reality may be the opposite—and dental clinics everywhere should pay attention.

Fresh evidence of the presence of alarming levels of chemicals, especially flouride, in groundwater in the southern Malwa region has emerged in a study. The study revealed fluoride levels in 745 groundwater samples from the Malwa belt. Nearly 49 per cent of the samples exceeded the WHO guideline value of 1.5 mg L-1. High fluoride […]
Machine learning has been used to quickly discover some of the most promising materials for fluoride-ion batteries. The work could accelerate development of these batteries, which are tipped by some to rival, or even replace, lithium-based ones. In theory, fluoride-ion systems are ideal for batteries in everything from electric vehicles to consumer electronics. That’s because […]
