Fluoride in drinking water increases the risk of hip fracture in women
NEW YORK, PRNewswire/ — Fluoride in drinking water increases the risk of hip fractures in women, according to an October 1999 American Journal of Epidemiology study. This corroborates several studies revealing a positive fluoride/hip fracture association. Furthermore, other studies dismissing a fluoride/fracture link may be flawed because they weren’t gender or hip-fracture specific, report authors […]

Defluoridation of drinking water with pottery: effect of firing temperature.
Abstract Excessive fluoride (F) in drinking water should be removed, but simple, inexpensive methods of fluoride removal are not readily available. This study examines the F(-)-binding capacity of clay and clayware, especially the effect of the firing temperature on the F(-)-binding process. A series of pots were made from ordinary potter’s clay and fired at […]

Aluminium phosphate for the defluorination of potable water
Abstract In this paper, a new method for the defluoration of potable water is described. In the proposed method, aluminium phosphate is used as a matrix of the stationary phase which can adsorb fluorides or exchange with fluorides selectively and reduce the concentration of fluorides in natural water to an allowable level. We have repeated […]

Aluminium and fluoride in the water supply and their removal for haemodialysis.
Abstract Aluminium and fluoride in the water supply and their removal for haemodialysis have been investigated in the Trent Region, U.K., and wide variations noted. The efficiency of removal of these elements from the mains water supplying home haemodialysis units by different water treatment systems currently installed has been assessed and a follow-up study performed […]
