Tasmania - Water concern as fluoride level falls
Water concern as fluoride level falls

ABOUT 20 per cent of Hobart's water supply is not receiving the required amount of fluoride.A weak link in the supply of fluoride has been found at Lake Fenton, one of the three major catchments that supply drinking water to the greater Hobart area.
The State Government is required by law to make sure optimal levels of fluoride are put in drinking water, to ensure good dental health.
But scientists say the water at Lake Fenton, near Mt Field, is too "pristine" for the fluoride to mix properly, leading to a low pH level and below-par fluoridation levels.
Lake Fenton supplies 20 per cent of Greater Hobart's water and is managed by bulk water authority Hobart Water.
Hobart Water chemical engineer Lance Stapleton said a new machine was required to fix the problem.
"Lake Fenton is a pristine alpine catchment and the chemistry of the water does not allow the fluoride to mix in properly," he said.
"That means that over a year we see inconsistent levels of fluoride in the water.
"The fluoride also interacts with the chemistry and lowers the pH of the water, which has the potential to create rust in our pipes.
"We have been working for some time now on getting a project going to improve the fluoridation system, but we will require funding approval before the project can go ahead."
Mr Stapleton said changing from the liquid fluosilicic acid, which is used now, to sodium fluoride powder was likely to solve the problem but new infrastructure would be required.
Despite knowing about the problem for several years, the State Government says it is still negotiating with Hobart Water, which manages its fluoridation assets.
Public Health deputy director Chrissie Pickin said there was no need for the Hobart community to be alarmed as fluoridation levels were "only slightly under optimal levels".
Dr Pickin did not believe Hobart people's dental health had suffered because of the intermittent fluoride supply from Lake Fenton.
"We have known about this problem for quite some time, but new technological advances now allow us to do something about it," Dr Pickin said.
"There is still plenty of fluoride in Hobart's water overall."

The practice of fluoridation should be stopped in Tasmania I think. Consider these facts:Tasmania has high incidence of cancer, arthritis-osteoporosis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, coronary heart disease, obesity, high blood cholesterol, high suicide rates, ovarian cancer, reduced kidney function, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease- hypertension, highest percentage of toothless ness and they have poor dental decay statistics. Tasmania has 41 fluoridation plants. One plant uses the fluoride chemical Sodium Silicofluoride Na2SiF6, eighteen plants use the fluoride chemical Fluosilicic acid H2SiF6 which are both industrial grade waist products of the phosphate fertilizer manufacture, that can contain small residues of toxic heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury. Twenty two plants use Sodium fluoride NaF a chemical that is a waist product of Aluminium smelting. Recently the first adult survey in 18 yrs was released; Individual state reports Australian Research Centre Population Oral Health from data collected during the 2004-2006 National Adult Oral Health survey. If fluoridation was really effective at reducing tooth decay at all, clear evidence of this would exist from this, but appears there is little difference of decay statistics between states regardless of the extent of fluoridation for that state. This includes the State of Queensland which is only 5% fluoridated.

MORE proof these silicofluoride poisons (aka water fluoridation schemes ) is a scheme.
Tasmania has had silicofluoride poisons (water fluoridation chemicals) in water supplies commencing in 1964 now sitting on 83% (dropped from 91% previously) with 41 fluoridation plants in Tasmania !
This proves the appalling failure of water fluoridation schemes and that all evidence of harm has been covered-up.
Tasmanians have some of the worst teeth in Australia - with a tooth being pulled once every three minutes.
According to the Australian Health and Medical Research Council:
•11.2 per cent of Tasmanians aged 25 to 44 wear dentures, almost double the national average.
•A tooth is extracted every three minutes in public dental services around Australia.
•Tasmania has the highest percentage of people wearing a denture in the nation.
•The rate of 23.1 per cent is 4.6 per cent higher than national average of 18.5 per cent.
•In all the age categories from 25 to 65-plus, Tasmania is significantly above the national average.
•41 per cent of Tasmanians in the 45 to 64-year-old category have dentures, which is 12 per cent above the national average.

Acting Deputy Commissioner Scott Tilyard yesterday said the state's public places were safe despite figures showing Tasmanians are almost twice as likely to be assaulted as people in some bigger states including Victoria.
