Do you know where the fluoride in your drinking water comes from? If you don't, you should. You can take action by becoming a member of the Fluoride Action Network, and letting your voice be heard. If you are an opponent being involuntarily fluoridated, I strongly encourage you to write to your municipal water authority, your Mayor, your City Council, and your State and Local government authorities.

1. Fluoride
Toxins In Your Tap

2. Do You Know Where the
Fluoride in Your Drinking
Water and Toothpaste
Comes From?

3. Most of it Starts Out as
Phosphate Ore Mined to Make
Fertilizers
Which Contains from
2% to 4% Fluoride

4. The Ore is Then Treated With
Sulfuric Acid

5. Which Releases the Fluoride in the
Ore as Gaseous Hydrofluoric Acid
(HF)
"Hydrogen fluoride is a highly dangerous gas, forming corrosive and penetrating hydrofluoric acid upon contact with tissue. The gas can
also cause blindness by rapid destruction of the corneas." Source WikiPedia
and Silicon Tetrafluoride (SiF4)

6. In Order for the Mining Companies
to Prevent These Tremendously
Toxic Gases From Escaping Into the
Atmosphere, They Are Removed By
Wet Scrubbers,

7. Which Convert the Combined
Gases to Hexafluorsilicic Acid.

8. If You or I
Dumped
Hexafluorsilic
Acid Into Our
Municipal
Water System

9. It Would Be
Considered an
Act of
Terrorism

10. This Chemical is Toxic,
Corrosive, and a
Pollutant

11. Yet These Phosphate Mining
Companies Package It Into 55
Gallon Drums or Into Tanker Trucks
and It

12. Is Delivered to 70%
of the Municipal
Water Departments
in the United States
and Added to Our
Municipal Water
Supplies

13. This Chemical Will Eat Through
Concrete. If It is Spilled, It Requires
a HazMat Team to Clean it Up.

Sodium fluoride is used as a cleaning agent (e.g., as a "laundry sour").
[7]
A variety of specialty chemical applications exist in synthesis and extractive metallurgy.
It reacts with electrophilic chlorides including acyl chlorides, sulfur chlorides, and
phosphorus chloride.
[12]
Like other fluorides, sodium fluoride finds use in desilylation in
organic synthesis. The fluoride is the reagent for the synthesis of fluorocarbons.

The lethal dose for a 70 kg (154 lb) human is estimated at 5–10 g.[7] Sodium
fluoride is classed as toxic by both inhalation (of dusts or aerosols) and
ingestion.[13] In high enough doses, it has been shown to affect the heart and
circulatory system. For occupational exposures, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health have
established occupational exposure limits at 2.5 mg/m3 over an eight-hour time-
weighted average.[14]
In the higher doses used to treat osteoporosis, plain sodium fluoride can cause pain in
the legs and incomplete stress fractures when the doses are too high; it also irritates
the stomach, sometimes so severely as to cause ulcers. Slow-release and enteric-
coated versions of sodium fluoride do not have gastric side effects in any significant

15. In high concentrations, soluble fluoride salts are
toxic and skin or eye contact with high
concentrations of many fluoride salts is
dangerous. Referring to a common salt of
fluoride, sodium fluoride (NaF), the lethal dose
for most adult humans is estimated at 5 to 10 g
(which is equivalent to 32 to 64 mg/kg
elemental fluoride/kg body weight).[1][2][3]
Ingestion of fluoride can produce
gastrointestinal discomfort at doses at least 15
to 20 times lower (0.2–0.3 mg/kg) than lethal
doses.[4

16. “Silicofluoride agents used for artificial fluoridation of public water
supplies contain arsenic. For example, HFSA is typically reported
by suppliers to contain about 30 parts per million (ppm), or 30
milligrams of arsenic per kilogram of HFSA. This amount of
arsenic in HFSA delivers about
0.078 micrograms of arsenic per liter of drinking water, based on
calculations shown in Reference I. The United States Environmental
Protection Agency (US EPA) has set a health-based standard for arsenic
in drinking water, known as the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, of
zero, based on arsenic's ability to cause cancer in humans.”
