UK Against Fluoridation

Tuesday, February 28, 2012

UK House of Lords

Earl Baldwin of Bewdley (Crossbench)

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the added fluoride used in United Kingdom water fluoridation schemes is classified as of pharmaceutical or industrial grade.
Hansard source (Citation: HL Deb, 27 February 2012, c253WEarl Howe (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Quality), Health; Conservative)

These distinctions are not used in regulations in the United Kingdom. Two compounds of fluoride are permitted for artificial fluoridation: hexafluorosilicic acid and sodium fluorosilicate, which are manufactured to exacting quality standards to meet European standards and approval by the Drinking Water Inspectorate.
