Fluoridation of the drinking water is a public policy whose aim is to improve dental health. Although the evidence is clear that fluoride is good for dental health, concerns have been raised regarding potenti...
Although there is widespread acceptance thatfluoride is toxicin high doses, a trend emerged in the twentieth century to add this chemical to drinking water at dosages deemed to be “safe.” Where did this trend originate? It may surprise you to hear that apparently the first occurre...

Not all water is created equal, some water has fluoride added to it and this has been a constant debate whether or not to drink water with fluoride in it. Is it safe, what effects does it have on our bodies? Turns out fluoridated water it bad for us…my sister was right this whole ...
It has been suggested that fluoride in drinking water may increase the risk of osteosarcoma in children and adolescents, although the evidence is inconclusive. We investigated the association between community water fluoridation (CWF) and osteosarcoma in childhood and adolescence in the continental U.S...
In many parts of the world there is an inverse relationship between the fluoride content of drinking water and the amount of dental carries in the population 对氟化物的用途包含杀虫剂的和饮用水供应的氟化反应(Low和Bloom 1988年)。 在世界的许多地区有饮用水之间氟化物内容的一个相反关系,并且相当数量...
Fluoride in the drinking water of Pakistan and the possible risk of crippling fluorosis.doi:10.5194/dwesd-5-495-2012The article presents a study of the fluoride content of drinking water in Pakistan and the possibility of disabling fluorosis or fluoride toxicity. It states that 747 water samples...
It is important to point out that the effects of fluoride depend not only on the total intake—ingestion (food, water, beverages), inhalation, absorption (via the skin)—but also on the duration of exposure (since the effects of fluoride are cumulative) and other factors, ...
This research work is carried out to evaluate fluoride (F) hydrogeochemistry and its effect on the population of two endemic villages of Birbhum district, West Bengal. Fluoride concentration in drinking water varies from 0.33 to 18.08mg/L. Hydrogeochemical evolution suggests that ion-exchange mechani...
Muddying the waters: fluoride in drinking water In urban Maroua, Cameroon, improved drinking water sources are available to a large majority of the population, yet this water is frequently distributed through informal distribution systems and stored in home containers (canaries), leav...
