Below, CDC states “Adjusting the fluoride content of water is a safe and healthy practice.” This is a meaningless and out of date statement. Warnings and information for pregnant women, bottle-fed infants, child carers, and […]

  • I’m a dentist and I oppose fluoride in our drinking water | Opinion

    The Melbourne City Council will continue to fluoridate drinking water. There continues to be a misunderstanding about fluoride being added to the public drinking water.

  • Estimation of hazardous materials in water and their toxicity levels in Mahayel Aseer, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA)

    Abstract This work aims to evaluate the different water sources available in Mahayel Aseer, KSA, chemically, toxicology and microbiologically. Several water samples, such as tap water, differentially desalinated water and bottled water, were analysed. Moreover, different metal ions and anions, including sodium, potassium, calcium, lead, cadmium, manganese, bicarbonate, fluoride, chloride, sulphate, nitrate and nitrite, were […]

  • Let’s talk about fluoride in the Irish public drinking water supplies

    Following the publication of fresh research drawing ‘alarming conclusions’ on the exposure of fluoride to children’s IQs, Biopharmaceutical Clinical Stability Specialist Sarah Griffin, BSc urges that these findings ought to stir debate on the Irish State’s policy of water fluoridation In a study published in August in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Canada-based […]

  • Grid switchgear uses SF6, the world’s most potent greenhouse gas. How do we regulate it?

    Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) is described as the world’s worst greenhouse gas. It’s 23,500 times more potent than CO2. Global annual emissions are 8,100 tonnes, equivalent to the CO2 emissions of 100m cars. It has an atmospheric lifetime of over 1,000 years and its installed base is expected to grow by 75% by 2030. 80% of […]

  • Long term geochemical variation of brines derived from a major phosphogypsum pond of SW Europe.

    Highlights Geochemical variations of brines depend on dilution and evaporation. The recharge with brines generated in the PG stack produces dilution. Highest concentrations are shown in summer, except for F?. The removal of layered salts and brines in summer should be considered. Abstract The chemical evolution of brines resulting from an inactive phosphogypsum pond derived […]
