Can Fluoridation Affect Lead (II) In Potable Water? Hexafluorosilicate and Fluoride Equilibria In Aqueous Solution

Apr 11, 2018 | Lead

Overall we conclude that no credible evidence exists to show that water fluoridation has any quantifiable effects on the solubility, bioavailability, bioaccumulation or reactivity of lead (0) or lead (II) compounds. The governing factots are the concentrations of a...

Blood Lead Concentrations in Children and Method of Water Fluoridation in the United States, 1988-1994

Apr 11, 2018 | Lead

Our analysis does not offer support for the hypothesis that silicofluorides in community water systems increase PbB concentrations in children. On the other hand, given the limitations of our data, our analyses cannot refute a possible link between water fluoridation...

Chemistry and Bioavailability Aspects of Fluoride in Drinking Water

Apr 11, 2018 | Lead

1. Hexafluorosilicate added to fluoridate water is effectively 100% dissociated to form fluoride ion under water treatment conditions. Therefore in terms of chemistry and bioavailability there is absolutely no difference between added and “natural” fluoride. 2. The...
