Fluoride push sparks fears for marine life
Posted April 28, 2010 11:09:00
An anti-fluoride group is calling for Rous Water to do an in-depth environmental study on the impact fluoride would have on marine life.
The Lismore, Ballina and Richmond Valley councils had voted to have Rous Water add fluoride to public water supplies.
Illka Slayer from Ballina's Fluoridation Free Network says there have been no environmental studies and the public has not been consulted.
She says research shows fluoride can affect fish species.
"It can actually affect the bio-films around the sewage, it can affect the fishes, the plants ... studies done to say that it can actually affect oysters, rainbow trout and salmon," she said.
