Fluoride in water supply

[pfcruleok]

As anglers should we be concern about Fluoride ?

There has been a lot in the local press about Fluoride being introduced into the water supply in the Southampton area.

One thing that i have not heard debated, is what effect will this have the rivers, if any ?

Naturally occurring levels in rivers are typically up to 0.3mg/l, but can be higher. There are parts of Britain with naturally occurring fluoride levels in drinking water in the 1-1.5mg/l range. Standard level for fluoridation of drinking water is 1.0mg/l.

 

I wouldn't think it a big concern, dilution is going to mean that in most cases the levels will be within the range that normally occurs.

Cheers for that info Steve, good to know.

I'd still blame that darned Leon Roskilly, it has to be his fault, it usually is :lol:
