Fluorine

In 1945 Grand Rapids, Michigan was the first city to put fluoride in their water. Many people don’t think about what actually is in water, they think nothing of what it could contain when they drink it. Most don’t think about the fluoride that is in the water they are drinking in the moment. Even less know why there is fluoride in their water. The reason being is that the government puts fluoride in our water to control us. The government uses fluoride to control us because an effect of it is that

In 2014, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported that Americans using community water systems had a 74% chance of receiving fluoridated water. However, many Americans do not know that there is fluoride in their water, what the fluoride is meant to do, or how fluoridating water has become a common practice. The lack of common knowledge on this subject helps to explain why there is also little attention paid to the possible risks of using this process. To better understand why the

For approximately 60 years water fluoridation has been a controversial public health intervention to control dental caries. With regards to the mass amounts of research put in over the six decades, one might think that researches have concluded a clear answer to the question, do the benefits out weight the possible consequences? Scholarly sources suggest that fluoridation of public water does, in fact, significantly lower dental caries in both adolescents and adults, but also suggest this is not

INTRODUCTION Methoxyflurane or Penthrox is used currently as an inhalational form of analgesia for mild to moderate pain relief for a short time period. It was previously used as an inhalational anaesthetic gas but has since been discontinued. Methoxyflurane is currently being used in the pre-hospital and hospital settings by Australia, New Zealand and more recently the UK. It is commonly called “The green whistle” in New Zealand and Australia. Methoxyflurane was administered through a device called

Few object to the therapeutic use of fluoride to stop tooth decay, but fluoridation, the addition of fluoride to the public water supply, can spark avid controversy. Most dentists, medical groups, and government officials argue that fluoridation is a cheap and risk-free venture that doubles cavity prevention. In contrast, a small minority of dentists and conservative political groups argue that fluoride is a hazardous, poisonous substance that should not be consumed. Some antifluoridationists

Who is against fluoride being added to water and Why This report investigates about water fluoridation, and its effects and why it is added to water. Water fluoridation is a process where fluoride is added to public drinking water. The main purpose of this is to reduce tooth decay. The dosage that is added to the water is paramount to stopping tooth decay. This process can only be achieved by physically adding the fluoride to the drinking water. When the fluoridated water is drunk it acts on the

by Benjamin Oseroff: and D, athletes, and manual laborers that consume large quantities of water; they are seen as the most at risk for fluoride toxicity. More recent studies associate consumption of fluoridated water to health risks like ADHD and underactive thyroids. 1 The high concentration of fluoride in bones over time also causes fractures in elderly populations. Fluoride is a bio-accumulative, highly toxic chemical that was a key element in the atomic bomb of the 1940s.Human studies were

Chemical filled water? No thank you! It was has been said that New Zealand’s water supplies are 100% pure and natural as well as being good for the human body. But this is not the case. This fluoridated water is affecting all of us right at this moment. That glass of water you just drank is now affecting important organs within your body. This fluoride is a by product of phosphate which is found in sources of food, toothpastes and mouthwashes. Is this something you’d like to ingest? The benefits

Fluoride has been used by people for many decades. The most common use is in toothpaste. Fluoride was added to toothpaste to lower the amount of dental cavities that one gets, and works by protecting the enamel (outer hard layer over the tooth). Another use of fluoride is in drinking water. It was added to drinking water to also help with tooth decay. Many people are debating whether or not this is truly safe. In the essay, “The Fluoride Conspiracy”, by Laurie Higgs, she talks about the use of fluoride

The name "halohydrin" comprises two parts: 1) "halo" represents halogen and 2) "hydrin" represents water. Why is halohydrin the major product when aqueous halogen is used?  The first step involves the heterolytic fission of the X-X bond to give a carbocation intermediate.  In aqueous halogen, the water molecule can behave as a nucleophile as it also carries a lone pair.  In step 2, two nucleophiles are available to attack the carbocation intermediates i.e. the halide ions and the water molecules
