our opposition to drinking water fluoridation has grown, based on the scientific

literature documenting the increasingly out-of-control exposures to fluoride, the lack of

benefit to dental health from ingestion of fluoride and the hazards to human health from

such ingestion. These hazards include acute toxic hazard, such as to people with

impaired kidney function, as well as chronic toxic hazards of gene mutations, cancer,

reproductive effects, neurotoxicity, bone pathology and dental fluorosis. First, a review

of recent neurotoxicity research results.

EPA'S HEADQUARTERS UNION OF SCIENTISTS OPPOSES

FLUORIDATION

The following documents why our union, formerly National Federation of

Federal Employees Local 2050 and since April 1998 Chapter 280 of the

National Treasury Employees Union, took the stand it did opposing fluoridation

of drinking water supplies. Our union is comprised of and represents the

approximately 1500 scientists, lawyers, engineers and other professional

employees at EPA Headquarters here in Washington, D.C.

We have also taken a direct step to protect the employees we represent from the risks of

drinking fluoridated water. We applied EPA's risk control methodology, the Reference

Dose, to the recent neurotoxicity data. The Reference Dose is the daily dose, expressed

in milligrams of chemical per kilogram of body weight, that a person can receive over the

long term with reasonable assurance of safety from adverse effects. Application of this

methodology to the Varner et al.\4 data leads to a Reference Dose for fluoride of

0.000007 mg/kg-day. Persons who drink about one quart of fluoridated water from the

public drinking water supply of the District of Columbia while at work receive about

0.01mg/kg-day from that source alone. This amount of fluoride is more than 100 times

the Reference Dose. On the basis of these results the union filed a grievance, asking

The costs and health effects of osteoporotic fractures in the US are about $9 billion/year.

•about 350,000 hip fractures occur per year and the incidence is rising.

•risk of a fracture of the hip, spine or distal forearm is almost 40% in white women and

13% in men from age 50 years onward.

•Hip fractures account for 87-100% of fracture-related nursing home placements and 87-

96% of short-term fracture costs.

In an effort to treat osteoporosis and prevent hip fracture, some doctors administer

"therapeutic" doses of fluoride.

Four US studies have examined the effect of these "therapeutic" doses and all of them

found that, even though bone density appeared to increase, hip fracture rates increased

within three years of treatment. In addition, all reported significant periarticular joint pain

and gastrointestinal side effects in the treated subjects.

Dr. L. V. Avioli, Shoenberg Professor of Medicine at the Washington University School of

Medicine, concluded that "sodium fluoride is accompanied by so many medical

complications and side effects that it is hardly worth exploring in depth as a therapeutic

mode for post-menopausal osteoporosis." Dr. Saul Genuth, chairman of the FDA advisory

committee that analyzed the fluoride/fracture findings, was quoted in the Medical World

News as saying the FDA "should quietly forget about fluoride."

More recently, attention has shifted to lower dosages of fluoride, such as found in

fluoridated water. There are now at least eight studies that showed an increase of hip

fracture incidence in fluoridated communities. They are summarized here:

Page 6: surviving disaster water and waste management

In 1986, M.R. Sowers et al, in a retrospective study, found an increased fracture rate in

both pre- and postmenopausal women relative to their water fluoride exposure.

In 1991, M.R. Sowers et al completed a prospective study again showing that water

fluoride was correlated with more than double the unfluoridated fracture rates.

In 1991, Jacobsen et al showed a very strong positive correlation of hip fracture to

fluoridation.

In 1991, C. Cooper et al showed a statistically significant increase of hip fracture

incidence in England relative to fluoride content of drinking water ranging from 0 to 1 mg/L

[ppm].

Also in 1991, C. Keller compared hip fracture rates in 216 US counties with natural

fluoride concentrations in drinking water and found significantly higher fracture rates in

counties with fluoride levels of >1.2 ppm.

D.S. May and M.G. Wilson reported finding that, as the percentage of persons exposed to

fluoride in water increased, the hip fracture rate generally increased.

In 1992, C. Danielson et al reported that the risk of hip fracture was approximately 30%

higher for women and 40% higher for men in fluoridated communities. Among women at

age 75, the risk was about twice as high in fluoridated communities.

In 1995, H. Jaqmin-Gedda et al, scientists from the University of Bordeaux, France,

studied hip fracture rates in 75 civil parishes in southwestern France and found (after

adjustment for multiple alternative variables) an increased risk [odds ratio] for hip fracture

of 1.86, i.e., 86% more likely, in parishes with water fluoride levels higher than 0.11 ppm.

chlorinated bleach loses it strength with time. After

one year on the shelf, it will have lost 50% of its

strength, so double the dose on old chlorine.

Warning – Chlorine will not reliably kill Giardia and

WASTE MANAGEMENT VITALS

most of the world does not treat sewage and untreated sewage contaminates

the environment, and is the source of illness and death for millions of people,

6,000 children die each day as a result of inadequate sanitation.

well functioning composting toilet the following should be kept in mind.

isolation: The material should be left to compost in isolation, without potential

contact from people, until it is fully composted and safe to handle.

ventilation: The toilet needs a flow of fresh air, to add oxygen and remove

odors.

moisture: A composting toilet should not be too wet, urine diversion vital

temperature and time: the hotter the compost pile, the more quickly the

process happens,

human manure compost pile is not monitored for high temperatures it should be

isolated for a long time to ensure full decomposition. In a mild climate this takes

a year, while in areas with cold winters it may be 2 years.

bulking agent: In a composting toilet sawdust covers the material creating air

gaps for aerobic bacteria to break down the material. Toilet paper and feces

compost through the same process a household food scrap compost bin

undergoes.

URINE USES : FERTILIZER

Urine contains most of the nitrogen,

phosphorus and potassium

urine is an amazing plant fertilizer

Urine is easy to purify -- all you have to

do is wait. Urine leaves the body fairly

acidic and then the pH increases rapidly

until pathogens are unable to survive.

This process takes from fifteen days in

warmer Mexico to over three months in

the chilly Scandinavian winter

How to use urine:

Dilute it--one part urine to three to six

parts water--and pour it into the soil

around your plants.

Compost it! Pour urine (rich

in nitrogen) onto sawdust,

leaves, or other carbon-rich

materials and let it rot.

Divert it to a leach pit, ensure

it's away from natural

waterways or drinking water

wells.
