Hydrogeochemistry and Health Risk Assessment of groundwater and surface water in fluoride affected area of Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri District, Telangana State, India
Abstract Water is an indispensable and crucial component of the life sustenance system. According to the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB), groundwater in 276 Districts in 20 States is contaminated with Fluoride. Considering the fact that Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district’s majority depend on groundwater for drinking. Fluoride a menace to this source is a cause for concern. […]

External control of fluoridation in the public water supplies of Brazilian cities as a strategy against caries: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Among the methods currently available to provide fluoride in population levels, fluoridated water is the most successful for presenting high efficacy, safety and good cost–benefit. However, recent studies on external control have shown great variability of fluoride concentrations in the water from treatment stations in Brazilian cities, which must present concentration between 0.6 and […]

Historical drill cores in Greenland reveal promising rare earths for Eclipse Metals
Eclipse Metals found europium present in 50-year-old drill cores at several times greater than average concentration. Perth-based Eclipse Metals (ASX: EPM) has found drilling done more than 50 years ago at its recently-acquired mothballed Ivittuut cryolite mine in Greenland intersected rare earths — but these elements were not pursued at the time. Six diamond holes […]

Port Macquarie-Hastings. Letter: Accumulating science shows fluoride consumption is dangerous to health
Mark Stewart (Port News, 12 August) is wrong on several counts. First, he trots out the ridiculous strawman comparison of fluoridation with folate and seats belts. Folate is a nutrient, fluoride is not. And, Mark, when last I checked seat belts are not consumed. If it weren’t so serious, such arguments would be laughable. Second, […]

Thermal behaviors, combustion mechanisms, evolved gasses, and ash analysis of spent potlining for a hazardous waste management
Highlights Thermal degradation behaviors of spent potlining (SPL) were quantified. An exothermic reaction dominated the overall reaction process. Fluoride volatilization rate in the flue gasses was 2.24%. Kinetic triplets pointed to the best-fit reaction model as the n-th order mechanism. The mineral deposition mechanisms and ash slagging tendency were predicted. Abstract An unavoidable but reusable […]
