f05: Some early history The earliest problems associated with toxic wastes involved those businesses manufacturing aluminium with the resulting waste usually being sodium fluoride. In Britain today, the most frequently used toxic waste product used for fluoridation comes from the phosphate fertiliser industry. However, the principles are the same and what happened in the first half of the 20th century is just as relevant as to what is happening today. In the 1930's, the aluminium processing industry faced a serious threat to it's existence - it's toxic fluoride wastes were seriously polluting the environment and this resulted in some very expensive litigation settlements. According to George Waldbott's book, Fluoridation, The Great Dilemma (published 1978), the production of aluminium involves the following process;-
The latter cannot simply be dumped on the ground because it seriously pollutes grass and other forage. Indeed, in 1950 ALCOA's (the Aluminium Company of America) plant in Vancouver, Washington, was fined for dumping fluorides into the Columbia River, and the airborne fluorides heavily contaminated the grass and forage, "which resulted in injury and death to cattle." (Reported by the Seattle Times, Dec.16, 1952)." Waldbott continues with a number of incidents which resulted in damages being awarded against the 'industry'. The first involved a trout and fish hatchery: "eggs were worthless" and did not hatch properly. The fish also exhibited malformations: "During the weeks after rains, the Meaders were hauling away about a ton of dead fish per day." So how many hundreds or thousands of parts per million ("ppm") of fluoride caused this? Fluoride levels were no more than between 0.5 and 4.7 ppm in the samples taken from the hatchery (the UK Government wishes to add 1 ppm of fluoride to drinking water supplies). Waldbott goes on to say that this was not just one in a series of a few incidents. More cases are mentioned which involved $100,000's being paid in compensation with the total liability running potentially into $1,000,000's ( or even $1,000,000,000's ).
So how did the fluoride pollution industries get the American Government to turn around and support the disposal of toxic fluoride wastes via the public water supplies? Surely no administration, however evil or corrupt it may be, would endorse such a scheme - would they? Perhaps if there were another agenda for fluoridation then things may just be different and another use for fluoride would certainly appeal to an unscrupulous Government. Supporting this contention are the well known unprincipled and clandestine experiments carried out on British and American subjects and involving LSD and radiation exposure (just two examples). So why not experiment with fluoride as well? This brings us up to the start of World War II and up until this point fluoridation was a non-starter. But during the war another use for fluoride was found and this resulted in a radical change of policy in the USA.
