After the public became aware that toxic chemicals were being added to their water, water fluoridation became a controversial topic in the United States. The chemicals have been shown to be harmful to human health and child development. The effort to stop fluoridation has yet to see a major victory, until now.
Lawsuit To Reverse Water Fluoridation
According to the Fluoride Action Network, a promising lawsuit may help reverse municipal water fluoridation. The “EPA has been served with a petition that includes more than 2,500 pages of scientific documentation detailing the risks of water fluoridation to human health.”
The Fluoride Action Network explained in a press release, ““This case will present the first time a court will consider the neurotoxicity of fluoride and the question of whether fluoridation presents an unreasonable risk under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).”
They added, “In contrast to most other legal challenges of Agency actions, TSCA gives us the right to get the federal court to consider our evidence ‘de novo’ — meaning federal courts are to conduct their own independent review of the evidence without deference to the EPA’s judgment.”
The lawsuit was accompanied by a petition containing thousands of signatures of the concerned public. More than 2,500 pages document the dangers of adding fluoride to water in hopes of demonstrating how water fluoridation violates the Toxic Substances Control Act.
According to the FAN, “The Fluoride Action Network (FAN), along with a coalition of environmental and public health groups has filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in response to their denial of our petition under Section 21 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) seeking a ban on water fluoridation.”
“We believe this lawsuit is an unprecedented opportunity to end the practice once and for all in the U.S., and potentially throughout the world, based on the well-documented neurotoxicity of fluoride. You may read the official complaint here.”
