  • Potential Human Health Risks Due to Groundwater Fluoride Contamination: A Case Study in the Bilate River Basin of Southern Main Ethiopian Rift, Ethiopia

    Abstract The main focus of the present research was to examine the appropriateness of groundwater resources for drinking purposes in the Bilate River Basin of Southern Main Ethiopian Rift, Ethiopia. The groundwater quality index (GWQI), fluoride pollution index (FPI), and human health risk were used to examine the human health risk factors associated with the intake […]

  • Fluoride Geochemistry and Exposure Risk Through Groundwater Sources in Northeastern Parts of Rajasthan, India

    Abstract Exposure to fluoride concentrations above a threshold of 1.5 mg/L can cause joint pains, restricted mobility, skeletal and dental fluorosis. This study aims to determine the hydrochemical evolution of the fluoride-rich groundwater and estimate the risk of fluoride exposure to the residents of semi-arid northeastern part of Rajasthan, India. The methodology involves measurement of fluoride […]

  • Anti-Fluoriders Are The OG Anti-Vaxxers

    Updated Apr. 14, 2017 3:23PM ET Published Jul. 27, 2014 5:45AM ET  Before anti-vaxxers, there were anti-fluoriders: a group who spread fear about the anti-tooth decay agent added to drinking water. They still won’t go away. Whatever kills you will probably be very, very small. It could be a few misplaced molecules in your genome, a buildup of […]

  • Fluoride bioassay study under scrutiny

    A recent animal study by the National Toxicology Program that failed to give fluoride a totally clean bill of health is now being questioned as being maybe too lenient on the widely used tooth decay preventative. Also, a government panel appointed to assess the risks and benefits of human exposure to fluoride and to put […]
