Do You Know Where the Fluoride in Your Drinking

Water and Toothpaste Comes From?

Most of it Starts Out as Phosphate Ore Mined to Make

Fertilizers

Which Contains from 2% to 4% Fluoride

The Ore is Then Treated With Sulfuric Acid

Which Releases the Fluoride in the Ore as Gaseous Hydrofluoric Acid

(HF) "Hydrogen fluoride is a highly dangerous gas, forming corrosive and penetrating hydrofluoric acid upon contact with tissue. The gas can

also cause blindness by rapid destruction of the corneas." Source WikiPedia

and Silicon Tetrafluoride (SiF4)

In Order for the Mining Companies to Prevent These Tremendously

Toxic Gases From Escaping Into the Atmosphere, They Are Removed By

Wet Scrubbers,

Which Convert the Combined Gases to Hexafluorsilicic Acid.

If You or I Dumped

Hexafluorsilic Acid Into Our

Municipal Water System

It Would Be Considered an

Act of Terrorism

This Chemical is Toxic,

Corrosive, and a Pollutant

Yet These Phosphate Mining Companies Package It Into 55

Gallon Drums or Into Tanker Trucks and It

Is Delivered to 70% of the Municipal

Water Departments in the United States and Added to Our Municipal Water

Supplies

This Chemical Will Eat Through Concrete. If It is Spilled, It Requires

a HazMat Team to Clean it Up.

NaF is prepared by neutralizing hydrofluoric acid or hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6),

byproducts of the reaction of fluorapatite (Ca5(PO4)3F) (from phosphate rock) from the

production of superphosphate fertilizer. Neutralizing agents include sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate. Alcohols are sometimes used to precipitate the NaF:

HF + NaOH → NaF + H2O

From solutions containing HF, sodium fluoride precipitates as the bifluoride salt NaHF2. Heating the latter releases HF and gives NaF.

HF + NaF NaHF⇌ 2

In a 1986 report, the annual worldwide consumption of NaF was estimated to be several million tonnes.[7]

A variety of specialty chemical applications exist in synthesis and extractive metallurgy. It reacts with electrophilic chlorides including acyl chlorides, sulfur chlorides, and phosphorus chloride.[12] Like other fluorides, sodium fluoride finds use in desilylation in organic synthesis. The fluoride is the reagent for the synthesis of fluorocarbons.[citation needed]

The lethal dose for a 70 kg (154 lb) human is estimated at 5–10 g.[7] Sodium fluoride is classed as toxic by both inhalation (of dusts or aerosols) and ingestion.[13] In high enough doses, it has been shown to affect the heart and circulatory system. For occupational exposures, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health have established occupational exposure limits at 2.5 mg/m3 over an eight-hour time-weighted average.[14]

In the higher doses used to treat osteoporosis, plain sodium fluoride can cause pain in the legs and incomplete stress fractures when the doses are too high; it also irritates the stomach, sometimes so severely as to cause ulcers. Slow-release and enteric-coated versions of sodium fluoride do not have gastric side effects in any significant way, and have milder and less frequent complications in the bones.[15]

In high concentrations, soluble fluoride salts are toxic and skin or eye contact with high concentrations of many fluoride salts is

dangerous. Referring to a common salt of fluoride, sodium fluoride (NaF), the lethal dose for most adult humans is estimated at 5 to 10 g

(which is equivalent to 32 to 64 mg/kg elemental fluoride/kg body weight).[1][2][3]

Ingestion of fluoride can produce gastrointestinal discomfort at doses at least 15 to 20 times lower (0.2–0.3 mg/kg) than lethal

doses.[4

“Silicofluoride agents used for artificial fluoridation of public water supplies contain arsenic. For example, HFSA is typically reported

by suppliers to contain about 30 parts per million (ppm), or 30 milligrams of arsenic per kilogram of HFSA. This amount of

arsenic in HFSA delivers about 0.078 micrograms of arsenic per liter of drinking water, based on

calculations shown in Reference I. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has set a health-based standard for arsenic in drinking water, known as the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, of

zero, based on arsenic's ability to cause cancer in humans.”
