It is said that fluoridation is safe for the environment. However, there are some researchers that have shown otherwise, and say that it may be well to look into that further.
Wherever there are pristine lakes and rivers in an area where the local city water is fluoridated, there will be run-off into the water-ways. It can't be avoided. Fluoride cannot be filtered out through normal means, and, as a result, has a potential to become accumulative downstream.
Can it then be considered an absolutely safe practice, without a doubt, from an environmental standpoint to have the city water fluoridated in these circumstances? Pros and cons on this subject can be debated "till the cows come home", as the expression goes. However, that is a question that may need to be carefully considered, or, in some cases, reconsidered.
Where homes and privately owned properties have direct contact with local rivers, lakes, and waterways and where run-off can/could have environmental repercussions, it may be well to do more research. Some studies follow this post that you may find of interest that suggests there is a need to do so.
To a healthy environment,
