Another fear stops fluoride in one town - USA
Goldsboro temporarily halts flouride water treatment
Goldsboro's public utilities director says a decision to stop putting fluoride in city water is a temporary measure pending testing by state authorities.
The injection of fluoride into the city's water was halted June 30, said Karen Brashear, who cited a recent study released by a doctor at the University of North Carolina-Asheville that prompted the decision.
The study indicated potential problems for lead contamination when fluoridated water interacted with chloramines. Ms. Brashear emphasized that no evidence of a problem has been found in the city's water system but that city officials wanted to take the precautionary measure until more information can be obtained.
