Note from Fluoride Action Network: This Opinion piece was authored by seven students at the UMass Chan Medical School. The students state, “Adding fluoride to tap water has been shown to be a safe and effective way to prevent dental caries” without any reference to the Mother-Offspring fluoride studies. Somehow we doubt that these students […]
Highlights AOC can efficiently remove fluoride from real-life groundwater up to 87.5%. Freundlich and Elovich models demonstrated adsorption isotherm and kinetics. Adsorption thermodynamic reflects spontaneous, endothermic, physisorption reaction. Benchmarking sorption process of synthetic and real-life water for field simulation. Neural network performed as better prediction model than support vector machine. Abstract The kinetic, isotherm, and […]
Note from Fluoride Action Network: The only fluoridation trial completed on the safety of water fluoridation in the U.S. began in 1945 and ended in 1955. The study was done in New York: the city of Newburgh was fluoridated and the control non-fluoridated city was Kingston. “Newburgh agreed to serve as the study area and […]
The reason for banning synthetic fertilisers to be replaced by compost is one of the stupidest decisions taken by the Government. Our President was led to this irrational decision on the premise that agrochemicals cause the kidney disease in the north-central province by a set of pseudo experts without any experience in either the kidney […]
THE ENVIRONMENT – It’s been more than six years since lax safety management led to an explosion at ExxonMobil’s oil refinery in Torrance, California. Worse than the accident itself, the blast nearly caused a major humanitarian catastrophe in Los Angeles County’s crowded South Bay: Heavy debris from the explosion narrowly missed hitting alkylation tanks containing hydrofluoric […]
U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA-E) recognizes potential of GE’s g3 insulating and switching gas as an alternative to sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) to help significantly cut global greenhouse gas emissions GE’s g3 gas technology will help U.S. utilities achieve President Biden’s goal of net zero economy-wide emissions by 2050 The development of […]
BASF’s Geismar chemical complex in Ascension Parish. PROVIDED PHOTO FROM BASF One of the two men killed in industrial accidents at Ascension Parish chemical plants this month died from exposure to hydrofluoric acid, and the other died after being exposed to what is suspected to be nitrogen gas, State Police said Wednesday. Dexter Armstead, 48, […]
Members of the Orono and Veazie town councils listen as representatives from the Maine Oral Health Coalition Judy Feinstein and Patrick Rowe, a dentist, give information about adding fluoride into the water supply that is shared between the two communities, Oct. 25, 2021.

There is little question that supplemental fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces decay. But at what cost? Fluoride (in yellow bucket) to be added to drinking water at a treatment plant in California.Michael Macor/Hearst/SFC via Getty Michael Connett had been preparing for this moment for four years. The California-based attorney was headed to court, where he […]
The Australian Dental Association says fluoridated public water is the most equitable way to protect against tooth decay, and while 92 per cent of West Australians have access to this public health service, the state’s biggest regional centre is still waiting. Key points: Perth residents have had access to fluoridated water for decades The community of Bunbury won’t […]
