NAS Report on Water Fluoridation MCL's MCLG's EPA
Standard for Fluoride in Drinking Water Not Protective
" After reviewing the collective evidence on adverse health effects associated
with fluoride, our committee concluded unanimously that EPA should lower the
maximum contaminant level goal for fluoride."
This NAS Report deals with community/public exposures and totally ignores the additional hazard posed to the worker in an occupational setting as a result of cumulative exposure. For example, in occupational settings, workers are exposed to the fluoride in the drinking water plus what they get in the ambient air as a result of the offgassed HF. It has been reported that the occupational standard 2 1/2m3 (occupational standard) will deliver up to 25 mg in a day of fluoride to the worker, a level many times in excess of levels idenitifed in this study as producing adverse health effects.
