USA - Fluoridation Company Fined $2 Billion
Story at-a-glanceMosaic Fertilizer, one of the world’s largest phosphate mining and fertilizer companies, agreed to a $2 billion settlement with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
The EPA accused Mosaic of improper storage and disposal of waste from the production of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, key components of fertilizers
Fluorosilicic acid, another hazardous waste product of the fertilizer industry, is sold to US municipalities to be added to drinking water for the purposes of water fluoridation.
Mosaic is one of the largest sellers of fluorosilicic acid, which is widely used by public drinking water systems across the US to fluoridate water supplies. More than 200 million Americans drink these wastes every day, according to the Fluoride Action Network (FAN).3

Priceless! So they penalise the producers of the fluoridation chemicals $2 billion for the improper disposal of industrial wastes, whilst the professional and political lobbyists are lauded, and no doubt, handsomely rewarded, when they abuse the powers vested in them to dispose of these same toxic chemicals via public drinking water supplies under the guise of promoting public health.
The hypocrisy is sickening.
