Fluoride pollution is a problem in all industrialized countries. The topic of fluorides in medicine and agriculture, and fluoridation of public water supplies is one that has attracted much controversy. This book aims to review the research findings, and provide a comprehensive reference on the effects of fluorides on plants and animals. It also includes information on conducting field surveys, establishing air quality criteria and standards, and the problems associated with fluoride analysis in air, water, soil and vegetation.

Impressively Promoted But Biased,
By
This review is from: Fluorides in the Environment (Hardcover)
According to Lennart P Krook, Paul Connett and Albert W. Burgstahler, Fluoride, 2004;37(3):147-150, this book "...is a rubber stamp for blatantly biased and often-mistaken official commission and government committee reports that repeatedly deny or ignore serious toxic effects from chronic exposure of humans and animals to fluoride". Book also ignores absence of any protective effect of fluoridated drinking water on children's teeth, let alone an actual increase in both decay and fractures. Opposition to fluoridation is falsely marginalized as "...a vocal minority that does not use robust science".For a less professional-looking, but far more accurate book on effects of fluoridation, see Barry Groves, Fluoride: Drinking Ourselves to Death, 2001.

Lies,
This review is from: Fluorides in the Environment (Hardcover)
An embarrassment to mankind, should be laughed at spit on and burned or recycled for something more useful.
