Cohort profile: the maternal-infant research on environmental chemicals research platform.
Online here Background: The Maternal-Infant Research on Environmental Chemicals (MIREC) Study was established to obtain Canadian biomonitoring data for pregnant women and their infants, and to examine potential adverse health effects of prenatal exposure to priority environmental chemicals on pregnancy and infant health. Methods: Women were recruited during the first trimester from 10 sites across […]

Fluoride exposure and duration and quality of sleep in a Canadian population-based sample.
Excerpts Introduction Inorganic fluoride can naturally occur in the environment or be introduced through industrial processes or fluoride supplementation programs. A primary method of fluoride supplementation is community water fluoridation, which refers to the practice of adding fluoridation chemicals to drinking water for the purpose of controlling dental caries. Ingestion of fluoridated drinking water is […]

A Benchmark Dose Analysis for Maternal Pregnancy Urine-Fluoride and IQ in Children.
This article is a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed. It reports new medical research that has yet to be evaluated and so should not be used to guide clinical practice. Abstract As a safe exposure level for fluoride in pregnancy has not been established, we used data from two prospective studies for benchmark dose […]

Use of public water supply fluoride concentration as an indicator of population exposure to fluoride in England 1995–2015.
Abstract Public health monitoring of Community Water Fluoridation (CWF) schemes requires estimates of exposure to fluoride in public water supplies (PWS). We aimed to use routine data to estimate population exposure to PWS-fluoride in England and to determine whether PWS-fluoride exposure from 2005 to 2015 could be used as a proxy for exposure for 1995–2004, […]

Developmental fluoride neurotoxicity: an updated review.
Background After the discovery of fluoride as a caries-preventing agent in the mid-twentieth century, fluoridation of community water has become a widespread intervention, sometimes hailed as a mainstay of modern public health. However, this practice results in elevated fluoride intake and has become controversial for two reasons. First, topical fluoride application in the oral cavity […]
