Abstract
To cite an example on which there are a number of publications in scientific journals, substantial harm arises from the use of hydrofluorosilicic acid and sodium fluoride as chemicals replacing sodium fluoride for the fluoridation of public water supplies. The controversy involved not only the likely effects of low levels of arsenic on human health, but also the cost, particularly to small water companies, of system upgrades to meet the new standard, relative to the benefits of reduced cancer rates in susceptible persons, who could conceivably be supplied with bottled water at a relatively low cost.
