Fluoride Levels

[The College] [The Center]

I am working on a paper and am trying to obtain information regarding fluoride levels in water.  Specifically I am trying to determine the range and distribution of fluoride concentrations.

Would it be possible to obtain data from you that would assist me in preparing my paper?  Thank you.
 


Fluoride levels in water vary from (essentially) zero to upwards of 7 parts per million (mg / L) fluoride.  The U.S. Public health service recommends that fluoride levels in community water supplies range from 0.7 to 1.2 parts per million.  The best source for the type of information you are seeking is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

I highly recommend the following resources:
