NRC, Part 5 - Industry’s Influence On The MCLG

FAN Bulletin #531:
March 18, 2006.
Dear All,
In this bulletin, Michael Connett produces another tour de force exposing the fact that the US EPA, when determining the so-called “safe” drinking water standard for fluoride (i.e. the MCLG of 4 ppm) in 1985, relied heavily on studies from industry, or industry-funded scientists, and these were often very dated.
