Studies of relationships between the polymorphism of COMT gene and plasma proteomic profiling and children’s intelligence in high fluoride areas
Fluoride (F) widely exists in environment with a significant increase in body burden accumulation in recent years. Internal exposure to F due to diet including food, water, fluoride-containing dental products like toothpaste and fluoride supplements, is extensively researched. Additionally, industrial pollution and coal burning have also been reported to be major sources of internal F […]

SF6: California ARB approves measure to limit most powerful greenhouse gas
SACRAMENTO- Today the Air Resources Board adopted a measure developed with representatives of the electrical utilities that will limit and monitor the emissions of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) from high-voltage electrical applications. SF6 is approximately 23,900 times as potent as carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere: one pound of SF6 emissions is equivalent to […]

Eastalco Aluminum Sued Over Fluoride Emissions
Wearing quilted jackets, string ties and suspenders, the dairy farmers who sat in a Frederick County courtroom last week are not anyone’s image of political activists. But they are part of a new group of environmentalists: those who claim that industrial pollution damages their livelihoods as well as the quality of their lives. The dairy […]

Toxic fluoride and arsenic contaminated groundwater in the Lahore and Kasur districts, Punjab, Pakistan and possible contaminant sources.
Abstract The present study is the first attempt to put forward possible sources of As, F- and SO4(2-) contaminated groundwater in the Kalalanwala area, Punjab, Pakistan. Five rainwater and 24 groundwater samples from three different depths were analyzed. Shallow groundwater from 24 to 27 m depth contained high F- (2.47-21.1mg/L), while the groundwater samples from […]

Big Companies in Legal Scrapes Turn to Science for- Hire Giant Exponent
Note from Fluoride Action Network: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hired Exponent to provide the experts in an ongoing federal lawsuit (Food & Water vs EPA) to defend the use of adding fluoride to drinking water in spite of the fact that fluoride has been found to be neurotoxic to the fetus and bottle-fed […]

Hydrogeochemical and statistical analysis of high fluoride groundwater in northern China
Abstract Understanding the formation of high fluoride (F–) groundwater in water-scarce northern China is critical for the sustainable development of the region. This study investigates the effects of F– enrichment in groundwater from seven typical regions of northern China, including Datong, Guide, Junggar, Yinchuan, Taiyuan, and Tarim basins and the North China Plain. A literature […]

West Lothian UK: MP demands apology from council
A WEST Lothian MP says the people of Armadale deserve an apology from West Lothian Council for failing to properly protect their health from pollution coming from Giscol Brickworks. Linlithgow MP Michael Connarty says he has uncovered a letter from June 1992 where the local authority, which at that time was West Lothian District Council, […]
