Indoor Air Pollution From
Water Fluoridation

After more than fifty years and more than forty thousand
studies, researchers have never addressed the subject
of indoor fluoride pollution by residual fluorides resulting
from drinking water fluoridation.
USEPA
Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can
damage their health but may not know that indoor air
pollution can also have significant effects. EPA studies of
human exposure to air pollutants indicate that indoor air
levels of many pollutants may be 2-5 times, and
occasionally, more than 100 times higher than outdoor
levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants are of
particular concern because it is estimated that most
people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors.
When fluoridated water evaporates, small amounts of
fluoride salts are formed - a milligram here and a
microgram there. How much of the fluoride salts are
retained in clothing, bedding, curtains, on floors after
mopping and following the numerous other household
activities where water is utilized? Some scientists may
say that residuals are so negligible that the
contamination is not worth considering. However, the
potential for build-up of the submicroscopic salts is
present and real.
The more people that live in a household, the greater the
potential for airborne fluoride pollution to build up. In a
household with infants and young children, the
accumulation of residual fluoride salts could be
exponential from washing clothes alone.
A home purchased in an area that has been fluoridated
for twenty years could be an exposure chamber filled
with highly toxic and bioavailable fluoride salts. These
salts accumulate over the long-term and the build-up in
the home over a period of five, ten, fifteen or twenty
years could be considerable.
As far as exposure to fluoride salts from inhalation are
concerned, the potential for developing adverse health
effects is far greater at much lower exposure levels.
Once lung cells are killed, they can never be replaced.
One microgram of inhaled fluoride salts has the capability
of killing millions of lung cells. Inhaled fluoride salts
have
the potential of doubling physiological damage from other
exposures. This is in addition to potential damage from
any toxic partner it might be carrying when it enters the
lungs. Inhalation is the most effective means of
potentiating or synergizing the toxic effects of fluoride
salts.
Inhaled fluoride salts impact dramatically on the lungs
and passageways leading to the lungs. Fluoride salts
react very differently and more violently with moist
tissues than do the diluted salts added to drinking water.
The damage from direct application of salts is much more
traumatic to delicate tissues; cells are destroyed and the
components move on into the body, inflicting further
damage (potentiated effects).
The potential for submicroscopic fluoride salts to reach
near-industrial levels in the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen
and laundry room after five to ten years of drinking water
fluoridation should not be overlooked. Many homes in
communities fluoridated from the 1950s may have levels
of fluoride salts that exceed the occupational exposure
limits of 3 parts per million for airborne fluorides. Work
is
needed to determine the species, amounts, and the
degree of toxicity of salts.
Many health agencies have conducted investigations into
insecticides, trichloromethanes and other contaminants
which may enter the home via drinking water, leaving a
residual build-up or becoming airborne. However, neither
the USEPA nor any other water fluoridation researchers
have investigated the potential for ambient residual
buildup of fluoride salts from common household
practices using fluoridated water.
Almost all water fluoridation is accomplished with
fluorosilicic acid or some other form offluorosilicate.
Fluorosilicate build-up potentiates greater health risks
from airborne exposure during summer months because
silicon tetrafluoride becomes a gas at about 90 degrees
Fahrenheit. The exposure threat from the ambient
fluorides are greater from inhalation and dermal
absorption than from ingestion. Virtually 100% of the
fluoride or fluoride compound is metabolized via
inhalation and skin exposure. But these factors are
neglected in research into drinking water fluoridation.
Occupational limits were developed for people working
an eight hour day. The average person spends almost
two-thirds of their time at home. Therefore, the threshold
for household airborne exposures and exposure from
ingestion should be set to much lower limits than for
occupational exposures.
Until fluoride researchers abandon their fantasy world of
ideal solutions and ideal experimental environments, this
reality will never be addressed and poses an imminent
health risk to people living in fluoridated areas.
