Flouride levels unsafe in certain Donegal water supplies
Oct 18, 9:20 am
A survey conducted in three different areas in Co. Donegal has found that areas where the water supply is fluoridated are consuming above the recommended safe level of the chemical.
7 out of 10 people who were tested in 3 different areas of Co. Donegal where the water supply is fluoridated, showed fluoride levels which were above the safe intake level, according to guidelines issued by the UK Food Standard Authority.
The survey has reignited calls for an end to the fluoridation of an estimated 600 water supplies around the country.
Fluoride was introduced to the water supply in the early 1960's as a means of reducing tooth decay among children.
