Excellent point! And remember, it's the government that passed the legislation on this, but the responsibility to dose the water is left up to the local authorities; in many areas, it's a single person, locally, who actually doses the water - e.g. a FÁS worker. It's not exactly a controlled process, and where I live, there have been numerous occasions where the water supply was overdosed. In one instance, a few years ago, a double dosage was purposely added because the person responsible with the task went on a 2 week holiday. Sometimes, you can actually see and smell it (at least in the case of Chlorine).

Flouridated water has no noticeable taste, smell or appearance, so stop talking bullsh1t.

Also the 'cloudy' appearance that many like yourself no doubt attribute to flouride or chlorine in the water is caused by air bubbles.

Read the full sentence, you fool!

Also, you are wrong. Fluoridated water is not necessarily colourless, odourless or tasteless. Fluoride is. The appearance, odour and taste of the water itself depends on many factors.

There's no point in discussing things like this with people like you. I doubt you have much interest in the topic or discussion at all. I don't know why you bother adding these ignorant and pointless comments....

ALSO - hydrofluosilicic acid, which is what is being used, according to the Irish Statue Book, is grey and cloudy in colour, and has an unpleasant, sour odour. You'll see this on any Material Safety Data Sheet.

I'm totally against adding anything to the public water system that doesn't make the water safer, it's a disgrace and you have to be a pig ignorant fool to defend it.

On the other hand, I like the idea of drinking water with drugs in it, maybe a bit of Codeine and Xanax in it would be absolutely lovely, oh it's dark and rainy outside, hmm, a nice glass of water will cheer me right up.

So why did you feel the need to conflate the two, unless you were purposely trying to mislead?

Give me proof that humans can detect fluoridated water, by taste, smell or appearance, even at several times the recommended limits.

Otherwise keep quiet and give the name-calling a rest.

I'll happily wear my tin foil hat rather than been forced to drink the rat poison floating around in my drinking water. People who are making fun of this issue actually need a tin foil ball in their gob.

Water shouldn't smell. It does smell. Dublin water not only smells bad it's tastes disgusting. The heavy metals and chlorine alone reeks in it. No to mention all the other **** they dump in it.

It's about choice, if you want to poison yourself, that's your choice, no one will stop you. Unless someone is trying to save you but that's another matter.

But If I don't want poison in my water, I would like to know why state officials think they have the god given right to dump toxic waste in our water supply.I clearly don't want toxic waste in my water supply. Especially dangerous chemicals such as flouride. I am sure many others would have the same sentiments and concerns as I have.

Stop talking tripe. All that is needed to remove any chlorine taste from water is to let it stand in the fridge for a few hours.

I definitely wouldn't consider myself accepting of the authorities as if it is Gospel. But thanks for making assumptions about me.

What I do pay attention to is scientific facts.

The trace amounts of 0.8 mg/l fluoride in Irish water are well below the EU Drinking Water Directive Standard of 1.5 mg/l. Above 1.5 mg/l is where fluoride can have an effect on human health. Have a look at page 8 here:

http://www.epa.ie/downloads/pubs/water/drinking/Drinking%20Water_web.pdf

The Irish government and water boards are required (e.g. by the EU) to release a yearly water quality report and those aren't written by dentists.

Also, this may be interesting to those that think wells have much better drinking water quality than tap water: The ground water that wells source can contain much higher amounts of fluoride than tap water:
'In groundwaters, however, low or high concentrations of fluoride can occur, depending on the nature of the rocks and the occurrence of fluoride-bearing minerals.'

http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/43514/1/9241563192_eng.pdf

If I were you, I would be much more worried about the antiquated pipework still in use in Ireland. A lot of lead pipes are still in operation and lead pollution has much worse effects on health. Also, leakage from septic tanks can contaminate drinking water which is a much bigger threat to Irish drinking water quality than fluoride.

No. You're missing the point. Fluoride is poison. Why is there need to pump it into our drinking water. It's not below the standard. There should be no set standard for dumping toxic waste in drinking water, period. There is no excuse for this kind of behaviour whatsoever. They put enough of other chemicals alone in it that isn't exactly good for us without having to throw in fluoride on top of it.

It's been mentioned that fluoride is added to toothpaste and many food items as well. This nation is drunk and positioned on this stuff and it needs to be stopped immediately.

It's not just chlorine, its lead also. Dublin water is disgusting. It taste disgusting. It smells disgusting. you have to be brain dead to not know this. You're the one talking through your ass. Dublin city council don't have a standard on anything. So let's not go into that argument.

Fluoride will be removed from the Irish water supply system soon i'm sure, so the whingers that complain about this poison being removed can get off their arse and go purchase their poison from your local store. I'll be happy when it is permanently removed from of our water supply.

No, I wasn't trying to mislead. You obviously didn't get the point of my post, so I'll try and break it down for you. My point was that the treatment of the water supply is done locally, and the addition of chemicals is uncontrolled, or at least not adequately controlled. If the prescribed levels of Chlorine are exceeded, or if the amounts added are inconsistent, why would it be any different with Fluoride?

The Health (Fluoridation of Water Supplies) Act, 1960 states that the amount of Fluorine shall not exceed one part by weight of fluorine per million parts of water.

But if it's not adequately controlled or monitored, and if the water is "overdosed" with Chlorine, how are we to know exactly how much Fluoride our water contains?

I hope this makes a bit more sense to you. If not, you'll just have to educate yourself some other way. I neither have the time nor the interest to further simply things for you.

As for proof that humans can detect fluoridated water, you'll have to get your own. I don't know at what concentration Hydrofluosilicic acid (H2SiF6) is detectable by human senses, I'm just saying that H2SiF6 has, in fact, a sour odour and a cloudy grey colour. This may or may not be relevant, depending on the concentration required to make it odourless, colourless, and tasteless. If you're interested in this aspect of water fluoridation, I suggest you do your own research into it.

Otherwise, keep quiet and annoy someone else.

I really don't care how people react to other's whinging about this. That is not the point here. If anything you should be concerned just as much on this issue if you had any care for your own health. It is simply not acceptable. It's not even in reason to dump toxic into our water supply. How is this acceptable. I don't think whinging is even enough to this. This is a serious crime against the people of this country.

I think zenno was referring to the people that are apparently proponents of water fluoridation, or who are arguing that it's safe.

I have been involved in many other threads here on boards about this issue and I do know perfectly well of the concern. My comment here was just in relation to people complaining about the removal of fluoride in relation to all the other threads on boards about fluoride and i'm not going to go through all the information i have already produced from previous threads.

I am very well aware of the main issues.

first highlight point : do you have proof that it is not controlled ? are are you making a assumption

second highlighted point : as above

Third highlighted point : it is grey and sour BEFORE it is added to the water , the amount per million dilutes it to the point it is colorless and odorless

im not for or against putting fluoride into water as i cant wade through all the CRAP from both sides - but if you are going to try press your point , lets make it more believable by not misrepresenting by assumption and lack of facts

as for dublin water being rotten, i take it you have not drank the water in london , new york , madrid ect ect , ours is famous for being SO clear and clean

as some one said , first world problems

This is correct.

Also don't forget the fact that all food made and sold here in Ireland is contaminated with fluoride from the fluoridated water they all use so in reality not only are people ingesting fluoridated water they are ingesting it from any Irish made food produce and that's a fair bit of fluoride to be ingesting over any length of time.

The so-called restricted amount of fluoride that they put into the water for a so-called safety margin falls down when you add food to the equation as you are ingesting a lot more this way.

Also fluoride was never meant to be used for ingestion, it was supposed to be spit out and never ingested so just look at how much people are actually putting inside their bodies.

can you supply data for it in food , after its produced ?
if this really was the case , how come irish produce is seen world wide as top notch ?
if we were adding poison would the WHO not alert other nations to this fact

Why can't you?
Why do people demand other's to find things out for them. Does your mother buy your food shopping? For **** sake. Get real and be responsible for your own damn mind and health. This is exactly the problem. The state officials dump toxic waste in our water supply and people just sit back and not take any responsibility or action to it. Just when others are, people slam them down and demand them to not only take action but come up with evidence and research on everything for them to prove to them what is happening right in front of their very eyes.

Find out yourself. if you care about your own health, you would do it. Don't expect anyone else to care about your health, especially when you obviously don't show that you make an effort yourself.

fluoride kills rats too.
Main ingredient in rat poison.

The test results show that rats die from it.

Well it's quite obvious that when a food manufacturer here in Ireland uses water to produce most food-stuffs, then the fluoride will be in the food and this is a well known fact.

Food manufacturers in Ireland do not go through the process of trying to remove the fluoride from the water before they produce food, they will all use the same water we drink to make their food of which is fluoridated.

so if its so well known , can you supply some of your well know data? or point me in the direction so i can have a read ?

and im still not understanding if its such a poison , why don't they remove it? how come other country's that have banned it , allow our food to be sold ?

im really not trying to get at you or catch you out , i would like to see this data if you can point me in the right direction

I personally know the person that adds the chemicals here. I also knew the person that was responsible for it where I grew up, or more specifically, my father knew him. There was also an incident, fairly recently, 25 km away where 1 or 2 local council workers accidentally added too much of something (not sure if Chlorine, Fluoride or something else), and there was not much they could do about it except warn people locally (i.e. in passing or whatever). This might not be the "proof" you're looking for, but isn't the absence of proper control proof enough? I mean, the EPA document that was linked to only had information about a percentage of the WSZs, and 34 of those tested exceeded the legal limits of Fluoride.

I'm not arguing that. As I said, it may or may not be relevant. In other words, I don't know how diluted it needs to be in order to make it odourless and colourless. At the concentration that it's SUPPOSED to be, yes, it is (AFAIK) colour- and odourless.

Sounds like you don't care either way, which is fine, but then why are you here? If you're not willing to "wade through all the crap", then you're probably missing some relevant facts and points that some of us have posted.

Have you tried Madrid drinking water? Madrid is reported to have very good drinking water, actually, and I've read that people in Madrid are very proud of their water, which supposedly comes from deep underground reserves. As for London and New York, I'm pretty sure they fluoridate their water also.
