Scope of Plans - The plans describe the location of proposed extensions to the water distribution system. It is assumed that specifications previously submitted- (File No. % -- 9286) will govern. This .report covers the design of this project insofar as the safety and sanitary quality of the water for public consumption. may be.affected and applies to this project only and not to the entire system or any other part thereof. 4.

If it is desired -to make deviations from the approved plans. the State Department of Health should be consulted and approval of the changes obtained before construction is s- tarted. Otherwise such construction is installed without proper approval and in addition may create - dangers to public.health. Expenditures of public funds for unapproved work are held to be illegal. 7. Inspection - The State Department of Health should be notified of the date of the engineerts final inspection9 or when the -work -has been completed and before the contractor leaves the work. 8. Recommendationsa a. Where the water main crosses below-or less than 6,feet -above a sewer, extra protection of the water main should be .provided in accordance with Paragraph 1206 of the Manual of.Vater Supply Sanitation. -2— b. The water main extension should be flushed and.diisinfected in accordance with Paragraph's 1227 -and 1228 of the Manual of Water Supply Sanitation. Conclusion The plans on this waterworks project comply in general with.the requirements' of the Minnesota Department of Health and are recommended for approval with the i �4 usual reservations as stated on the attached sheet entitled, "Information Relative to Plan Examinations,'" and with the understanding that the above recomMendations will be observed. Approved; M. T. Skodje / Associate Public Health Engineer. E. A. Huset, Chief Municipal Water Supp3y Sec-Uon MINNESOTA DEPARTMk T OF HEALTH Division of Environmental Sanitation Information Relative to Plan Examinations The examination and report on plans and specifications for water supply, sewerage, and plumbing systems is made to inform the State Board of Health concerning the sanitary features of projects presented for consideration in accordance with Regulations 200 and 277, respectively, of the State Board of Health. The approval of such plans is given upon the supposition that the survey and other data on which the design is based are correct, and that necessary legal authority has been obtained to construct the project. The responsibility for the design of structural features and the efficiency of equipment must be taken by the engineer or architect who designs the project. Water- supply plans are examined with regard to the location, construction and operational features of the design and maintenance of all parts of the system which may affect the safety and sanitary quality of the - water. Examination is based on the standards contained in the Manual of Water Supply Sanitation. Plans of sewerage and waste disposal systems are examined with regard to the features of design which concern the operation and maintenance of sanitary sewers and treatment works; the efficiency of proposed treatment processes, and compliance with stream standards. The examination is based upon the bulletin entitled, "Information on the Preparation and Submission of Plans for Municipal Sewer Systems and Sewage Treatment Works," and the bulletin, I'Small Sewerage Systems." Plans on plumbing systems are examined only insofar as the provisions of the Minnesota Plumbing Code apply. The State Board of Health reserves the right to withdraw its approval of plans if construction of the project is not undertaken within a period of two years. The fact that plans have been approved by the State Board of Health does not necessarily mean that recommendations for alterations or additions may not be offered at some later time when changed conditions or advanced knowledge make improvements necessary.

Hyde _ Village'Manager Village of Edina 4801 Wept 50th Street Edina, Minnesota Dear Mr. Hyde: I have had an opportunity to review the data forwarded to me with your letter of November 1 concerning the chemical stabiliz- ation of the city water. I don't believe that this data in any way changes the picture with regard to the proper treatment for Edina's municipal water system. It has been pointed out that various polyphosphates are effective for the prevention of encrustation and for the prevention of precipitation of iron and manganese. In addition, it is quite true that the P205 content is not necessarily the primary factor in determining the efficiency of the stabilizing phosphate. In thi.s.case, however, we are principally concerned with the elimination of the red water problem or at least that was the impression I had received in my past discussions with you. I have visited your office twice since receiving your letter, but have been unable to find you available. There has been a considerable amount of correspondence covering this matter in the past and it seems that it might not be neces- sary to do anything more than sit down and go over each of these .points brought up in the Flox and Company letter and in our correspondence on the matter and get them clarified to your satis- faction. With this thought in mind, I would a;�preciate it very much if it would be possible for me to obtain an appointment with you for this purpose. Yours very truly., DEARBORN CHEMICAL COMPANY A W. R. T.

I am not proud, as I know my husband is not, of the water service we have been getting, among a f®w other things of which`I won' .t write now. Can you tell us why we have to put up with filthy brown water once and twice a week? Last, nite and today, Sunday, during the dinner hours, four hours to be exact, I had to cook meals for out of town - guests with no water., it was so bad. This does not occur occasionally of once in a while. It happens with perfect regularity, and as often and as bad as aforementioned. Aside from the health threat, the mess our wizite clothes are in from this condition, I' ]p sure wouldn't have to be explained here, as I'm.sure our house has not been singled out as a target, so therefore, you must be aware of other complaints. However, I don't wish to make a complaint. I want to know why we ' have to put up with this, why men quit because, when they want to do their Jobs, they get no cooperation from the powers that can -help; why we are so helpless against the attitude of the Mater Department; why the Police Department has to take-Water Emergency calls; why we have to pay tax bills, but services covered by by th6se taxes . do not have to be rendered? Isn't the time for investigation at hand? Are their too many Chiefs? Is that the big, big problem in Edina? �C_ 9Y 70 151�'107_ %J1C /1SoN Very truly yours, Mrs. Charles Roman 6316 St. John's Avenue I 1 C � 1 s r - September 24, 1956 Johnson, Drake, And Piper 3833 ,Nest 66th Street Minneapolis 10, Minnesota .

Warren Hyde,_ Village e_ Manager 4801 West 50th Street Edina, Minnesota Dear Sir: Attached is a report of the municipal fire protection facilities for Edina which has been prepared from data obtained during the recent survey. This.report can be considered a summary of the features considered in the establishment of the fire insurance classification. Yours very truly, FIRE UNDERWRITERS I SPECTION BUREAU Engineer WCF:LM enc. FIRE UNDERWRITERS INSPECTION BUREAU M. B. RYON, Manager MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL FIRE PROTECTION REPORT Population: 20, 000.(Est, ) ON EDINA, MINNESOTA INSPECTED OCTOBER 1955 *Fire Insurance Class: 7 -9 -10 *Refer. to attached map for boundaries of classification districts. Waterworks system protects ..only a.portion of the municipality. GENERAL This is a largely residential suburban village adjacent the southwestern boundary of the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota in the southeast central portion of the state. Its population has increased. at a 'rapid rate, the 1948 report indicated 8, 000. The principal mercantile district (P.,M. D. ) is :located in the northeast sec- tion where only the width of a street separates the district from the City of Minnea- polis; several other smaller mercantile districts (shopping .centers) plus a.large mercantile center under construction. Topography varies from level in the P. M. D. to hilly in outlying residential sections. The railroads, buses and airlines of the adjoining city of Minneapolis also serve this municipality. Streets are generally paved, concrete or bituminous surface with some,graded and graveled in outlying sections; widths vary from narrow .to good; several paved state and federal highways extend through the village.. Fuels mainly are electricity, natural gas, oil and. liquefied petroleum gas; electricity and natural gas being supplied by the distribution systems of the public utility companies serving the adjacent city. WATER SUPPLY Waterworks are municipally owned and operated but do not cover ,the entire municipality. Water supply is obtained from eight wells by high lift pumps which dis- charge direct into the water distribution system against gravity pressure furnished by a 500, 000 - gallon elevated tank. Source.of Supply: Eight wells varying in age from twenty years to the present. Sizes range from twelve inches to twenty inches in diameter and 400 to 500 feet deep, the five most recent wells all being lb inches in diameter and 500 feet in depth. Capacity of older wells has diminished somewhat but later wells have been tested to capacities greater, than the present pumpage rate. (Over) -2- Pumping Stations: Well houses. Mainly ordinary masonry and fire- resistive con- struction with one (No. 3) frame residential type structure and one (No. 7) without a building as yet. Slight to no exposure, intermittent attendance, no telephones, good maintenance. Pumps: No. 1 (50th Street near Wooddale Avenue). One Pomona turbine type pump operated by a 27 H. P. , 220 volt electric motor; capacity approximately 200 G. P. M. Operated during summer months only. No. 2 (50th Street near Wooddale Avenue). One Pomona turbine type pump operated by a 100 H. P. , 220 volt electric motor; capacity approximately 600 G. P. M. Operated during summer months only. No. 3 (53rd Street and Halifax Avenue). One Layne turbine type pump, operated by a 100 H. P., 220 volt electric motor; capacity approximately 500 G. P. M. , automatic and manual control. No. 4 (Southview Lane and Concord Avenue). One Fairbanks -Morse turbine type pump operated by a 100 H. P. , 220 volt electric motor; capacity 650 G. P. M. through meter. Automatic and manual control. No. 5 (69th Street and France Avenue). One Smith turbine type pump operated by a 100 H. P. , 220 volt electric motor; capacity approximately 800 G. P. M. , meter to be installed. Automatic and manual control. No. 6 (Near 59th Street and Dalrymple Avenue). One Layne turbine type pump operated by a 200,H. P. , 440 volt electric motor; capacity approximately 1200 G. P. M. , to be metered. Automatic and manual control. No. 7 (Downing Avenue and Sherwood Road). One Layne turbine type . pump, operated by a 100 H. P. , 220 volt electric motor; capacity approximately 900 G. P. M. , to be metered. Completion expected in spring of 1956. No. 8 (66th Street and Ridgeview Drive). One Layne turbine type pump operated by a 100 H. P. , 220 volt electric motor; capacity approximately 900 G. P. M. , to be metered. Completion expected in spring of 1956. Note: Electric motor.operation for pumps is limited by "off- peak ". rates which do not permit operation (except in emergencies) between 4:30 P. M. and 7 :00 P. M. Power: Electric current is provided for pumping stations by means of a 2300 volt overhead distribution system of the public utility company serving the municipality: Feeders are so arranged that about three circuits are available. Banks of three transformers on poles are generally provided for each pumping station. Reservoir Capacity: None. - 3 - Elevated Storage Capacity: A 500, 000 - gallon steel elevated tank erected in 1954 is located adjacent Pumping Station No. 6 and normally floats on the water distribution system. The old 75, 000 - gallon elevated tank formerly at No. 1 and No. 2 Pumping Stations has been removed. A new 500, 000 - gallon steel "Water Sphere" elevated tank is on order for installation adjacent the No. 5 Pumping Station in the summer of 1956. Underground System: Cast iron pipe. Arterial mains in the northeast (older) section are 8 inches in size and supply well looped 6-inch and 4 -inch distributors. The pre- sent elevated storage is centrally located in the system and together with the inter- spersed wells and pumps supply an irregular grid of mainly 12 -inch with some 1.0- inch and 8 -inch arteries. Portions of the arterial system are as yet incomplete but the 6 -inch distributors are fairly well looped. The proposed new tank in the south- east section together with new wells and pumps in that vicinity and in the southwest on the south 12 -inch arteries should substantially reinforce the more irregular system in the south half of the community. The .system contains a very small amount of 4 -inch pipe and about 10% of 6 -inch dead -ended mains. Gate Valves: ,Fair to good spacing. Some older valves operate in a direction opposite to that of others. Inspections are made when necessary and all are reported in satis- factory condition. Fair records of locations. Hydrants: Spacing variesi from fair to poor in older sections .to,good in areas where installations ,are of more recent :date and a large portion. of the village is without hydrant protection, All are uniform in operation and are frequently inspected. All recently installed hydrants are provided with individual gate valves on hydrant. branches. All hydrants have 6 -inch and larger connections to mains and 5 -inch and larger valves. Hydrants generally have two 2 1 /2 -inch and one 4 1 /2 -inch outlets. Hydrant threads (2 1/2t-inch) are national standard. (Ove r) -5- good at night, average "call" response is eleven men. Apparatus: One 1947 American LaFrance pumper equipped.with a 750 G. P. M. pump, 300 - gallon water tank, 650 feet of 2 1 /2 -inch hose, '700 feet of 1 1 /2 -inch hose, 14- foot and 28 -foot ladders and other minor equipment. One 1941 International- Northern pumper equipped.with a 500 G. P. M. pump, 250 - gallon water tank, 1300 feet 2. 1/2-inch hose, 150. feet.of 1 1 /2 -inch hose, 12` -foot and 24 -foot ladders and other minor equipment. One 1948 Willys "Jeep" equipped with a 300 G. P. M. pump, 200 - gallon trailer, -50 feet of 2 1/2 -inch hose, 150 feet.of booster hose, 1.2 -foot and 24 -foot ladders and other minor equipment. One 1951 Ford - Vanette rescue truck equipped with a 300 watt generator, floodlights, public address system, oxygen masks, first aid materials, forcible entry tools, heavy duty jacks, etc. Not mounted on apparatus- but stored in the fire station basement: is 'a :. complete emergency and rescue kit supplied by the State Civil Defense Administration. A 36 -foot extension, ladder has also been obtained. Fire Station: Built in .1.953, modern village hall and fire station., Two story fire resistive construction, located a short distance west of the P.M. D. on 50th Street. Good access and egress facilities, `six 12 -foot doors. Dormitory for six men-. Short stairway to apparatus floor from dormitory. Well maintained. Drills and Training: Drills twice monthly, outdoors summer and indoors winter. Some use made of drill tower in adjoining suburb. Drill program planned and super- vised by the chief, and assistant chief. Building Inspections: Made twice .yearly by officer or paid fireman with deputy state fire marshal of mercantile, industrial and public buildings. No company inspections. Response: All apparatus is used in response to alarms in the P. M. D. and other busi- ness and public properties. One pumper is used for response to residential fires. Individual circumstances determine response to grass and car fires. The department responded to 164 alarms in 1954 but. of these, 79 were grass fires. Outside Aid: The department is a member of a "mutual aid group known as the "Southwest Fire League ", which is made up of fire departments of the communities on the south and west sides of the City of Minneapolis. All the departments in the League are fairly well equipped but manpower, except for two communities; is volunteer.. Travel distances between the various communities is not excessive. Hose: A total of 2, 000 feet of 2 1 /2 -inch hose - on hand plus .300 feet on order. In addition, hose is tested twice annually and age varies from 8 to 14 years. Hose racks and a tower are provided at the fire station. A fair to good supply of 1 1/2-inch hose is also available. Hose threads (2 1/2-inch) are national standard. (Over) FIRE ALARM No modern telegraph fire alarm system. Fires reported by automatic dial telephone to a reserved fire telephone at the fire station and general alarms are sounded by electric siren on the roof- of the former fire station (village tool house) several blocks. west. In addition, a "pyramid" system for calling volunteer and off -shift paid men by telephone is in effect. No fire department radio.but good use is made of police department radio. POLICE Department comprises 13 full -time paid men, including the chief and 3 sergeants. Three 8 -hour shifts per day. Three two -way radio equipped automobiles. Good cooperation with fire department. ORDINANCES Building Construction: No fire limits area established but fair to good regulations covering heights, areas., protection of openings, wall thickness, fire stopping, exits and parapets. Wood shingles permitted. Permit for construction required and inspection by village building inspector. If alterations or repairs in excess of 50% of the building value are required to be made at any one time within a period of one year, the entire building must be., made to conform with the ordinance provisions or . must be demolished. Electricity: Permit and inspection by building inspector required. State law enacts National Electrical Code. Fire Prevention: Ordinance requires inspections of buildings twice yearly. Flammable liquids ordinance is incomplete. Fair state regulations concern liquefied petroleum gas, flammable liquids, fireworks, motion pictures, matches, dry cleaners, and flammable finish. Other local ordinances concern fireworks, combustible fibers, bonfires, rubbish and trash, grass and brush burning. STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS In the P. M. D. construction is principally ordinary masonry, 12% frame, 276 fire - resistive. No automatic sprinkler installations. Average height one story. All block interiors are accessible to the fire department. Average block area built upon in the P.M. D. 2876; street areas comprise 18016 of the district. Few exterior and fire walls are deficient in thickness but many parapets are too low or lacking. Exposed horizontal wall and vertical floor openings are generally unprotected, Of the built -on area in the P. M. D. , 18% is occupied by ordinary masonry structures . exceeding 20, 000 square feet in area, 3576 exceeds 10, 000 square feet, and_6876 exceeds 5, 000 square feet. Wood shingle roof coverings in the P. M..D, are - Z - negligible and the district is mildly to moderately exposed by mercantile and dwell- ing properties of ordinary and frame construction. Now under construction in the southeastern portion of the village is a large area shopping center structure, a por- tion of which is to be provided with automatic sprinklers. W. C.

Appro ed� M. T. Skod,je E. A. Hulett Chief Associate Pnh]ic Health Engineer Municipal Water Supply Section t MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Division of Environmental Sanitation Information Relative to Plan Examinations The examination and report on plans and specifications for water supply, sewerage, and plumbing systems is made to inform the State Board. of Hqu2tn concerning the sanitary features of projects presented for considor:tion in accordance with Regulations 200 and 277, respectively, of the State Board of Health. The approval of such plans is given upon the s�:pposition that the survey and other data on which the design, is based A.ro correct, and. that necessary legal authority has been obtained to conotruct the project. The responsibility for the design of structural features and the efficiency of equipment must be taken by the engineer or architect who designs the project. Water.- supply plans are examined with regard to the location, construction and operational features of the design and maintenance of all parts of the system which may affect the safety and sanitary quality of the water. Examination is based on the standards contained in the Manual of Water Supply Sanitation. Plans of sewerage and waste disposal systems are examined with regard to the features of design which concern the operation and maintenance of sanitary.sewers and treatment works; the efficiency of proposed treatment processes, and compliance with stream standards. The examination is based upon the bulletin entitled, "Information on the Preparation and Submission of Plans for Municipal Sewer Systems and Sewage Treatment Works," and the bulletin, "Small Sewerage Wstems." Plans on plumbing systems are examined only -insofar as the provisions of the Minnesota Plumbing Code apply. The State Board of Health reserves the right to withdraw its approval of plans if construction of the project is not undertaken within a period of two years. The fact that plans have been approved by the State Board of Health does not necessarily mean that recommendations for alterations or additions may not be offered at some later time when changed conditions or advanced knowledge make improvements necessary.

Capacities range from 0.1 ppd (pounds of chlorine per 24 -hour) to 1000 ppd. Controlled by diaphragm regulators, chlorine gas in the unit is fully enclosed and mechanically sealed. Unmatched dependability is achieved through simple positive action 'regulators. The figure 1050A is constructed entirely of corrosion - resistant materials. These materials have proven so successful in operation as to render obsolete the iron, steel, brass and other materials subject to chlorine corrosion, formerly employed in chlo- 4 rinator construction. All components are housed within the polyester- impregnated Fiberglas cab- inet. Aside from being more attractive than the conventional steel enclosure, this cabinet has a higher tensile strength than steel, never requires painting and is entirely free from corrosion. The F &P Figure 1050A Chlorinator incorporates those features of the earlier model (Figure 1050) which proved themselves so outstanding during years of service. The new Figure 1050A surpasses the previous model in simplicity of construction, thereby contributing to its extreme reliability in performance. FUNCTIONAL DESIGN The illustration shows the simplified construction of the Figure 1050A Chlorinator. Note that the vacuum regulator, differential pressure regulator, and vacuum breaker functions have been com- bined into a single assembly providing the ut- most in simplicity and ease of maintenance. This working heart of the chlorinator can easily be removed for inspection in a matter of minutes. The only tools required for complete servicing of this unit are a pair of pliers and a screwdriver! The attractive gray color of the Fiberglas cab- inet is that of the plastic itself; no cabinet mainte- nance required. The glossy exterior is easily cleaned with water and ordinary household soap. The smooth functional lines of the cabinet are in keeping with the interiors of :modern water and sewage treatment plants. 5 r� CHLORINATOR INSTALLATIONS - 00 UZ: 00 f, I- i II — a i Mr. Clarence E.

Dry chlorine gas is simple to handle; the cylinders in which chlorine is delivered are made of steel — permissible only because the gas is in the dry state. Moist chlorine gas is one of the most corrosive of all chemicals. In F &P Chlorinators, chlorine gas is in the dry state . throughout the system until, just prior to leaving the unit, it mixes with water in the ejector. While chlorine gas is kept in the dry state dur- ing normal operation, failure to isolate the chlo- OThe chlorinator cabinet is made of polyester - impregnated Fiberglas which is completely resistant to corrosion,. requiring no periodic painting as is required with metal cabinets. © The chlorine piping, as well as the regulator bodies, ejector block, and valve bodies, are of U. S. Rubber Co.'s Uscolite. Uscolite, de- veloped particularly for resistance to chlo- rine and water, has been proven in chlorine service for more than 5 years. (� Valve stems and plugs are made of tanta- lum which incompletely resistant to chlorine corrosion, and has been used succesfully for this service for many years. OChlorine regulator springs are made of Hastelloy "C-." This is a metallic alloy manu- factured by Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation for 20 years, and is recom- mended for chlorine service.

Teflon is 'a du Pont product which has'been successfully used in chlorine service for more than 10 years. Its self - lubricated surface and tough resilience makes it particularly desirable in the de- sign of valve seats and guiding surfaces. OValve diaphragms are made of Kel -F, a product of the M. W. Kellogg Division of the Pullman Company. Kel -F (polyfluoro -. ethylene resin) has been in use for a.decade. Chemically, it is of the same family as Teflon, and has the needed characteristics of toughness, flexibility, and resistance to chlorine corrosion. Kel -F diaphragms have been used successfully in Fischer & Porter chlorinators since 1949. OCheck valves are precision glass balls on Teflon seats. OSince chlorine leaks, external to the chlo- rinator, are not uncommon, Fischer & Porter has provided special alloy nuts and bolts in its fully engineered chlorinator. These eliminate the problems of frozen threads present with steel parts. 0 7 OPERATION The Fischer & Porter chlorinator operates as follows: The water flows continuously through an ejec- tor in the chlorinator, and is mixed with chlorine gas entering the ejector at a regulated flow rate. With the chlorinator set for start -up, the exter- nal water supply valve is open, the chlorine rate valve is almost closed, and the chlorine shut -off valve is about to be opened to allow chlorine gas to enter the chlorinator. Water, under pressure, flowing through the ejector, creates a vacuum extending to the chlo- rine regulator. The pressure of the incoming chlorine gas is reduced to 20" WC negative pres- sure by the vacuum regulator. Flow of gas is metered at this reduced pressure in the chlorine flow meter located in the front of the cabinet. This gas flow rate is adjusted by the chlorine rate setting valve which is in parallel with the differ- ential pressure regulator. The differential pres- sure regulator throttles the flow of gas to main- tain a constant differential pressure across the rate valve, thereby maintaining a constant gas flow for a given rate valve setting. Gas flows to the ejector where it is mixed with water and the resulting solution is discharged to the point of application. 8 FLOW DIAGRAM FIG. 1050 -A CHLORINATOR EMERGENCY GAS VENT CHLORINE FILTER SOLUTION DISCHARGE CHLORINE PRESSURE GAUGE WITH PROTECTOR WATER OVERFLOW - VALVE: WATER TRAP SUPPLY EJECTOR WATER SUPPLY FP A heavy duty, positive displacement, diaphragm type pump for accurately feeding chemical solutions used in water and sewage works and in in- dustrial plants.

A A POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP THAT IS CONSISTENTLY A+ r F ) If Pl The MODEL S is a positive displacement, diaphragm type pump used for accurately pumping small amounts of chemical solutions. A shaded pole electric motor and a reduction gear train, contained within an acid - alkali resistant enamelled case, and immersed in oil, re- ciprocate a diaphragm by means of an eccentric cam. This reciprocation causes the unit to pump solution from a container and inject it into the main water line. BREAKDOWN OF PUMP HEAD ASSEMBLY A comparatively short stroke at maximum output is a contributing factor towards long diaphragm life. All parts that come into contact with the pumped solution are chem- ically resistant plastic or synthetic rubber. The pumping chamber consists of a transparent plastic head. The dia- phragm and poppet valves are mold- ed from a chemically resistant syn- thetic rubber. Plastic tubing is used to connect the unit to solution source and main water line. The MODEL S •has been designed to perform dependably for long periods of time before any maintenance is necessary, yet it has been kept so simple that any of the usual field maintenance operations such as cleaning, changing oil, or replacing rubber parts can be easily accomplished. Important factors contributing to its efficient performance are: Electric motor and gear train are completely inclosed and immersed in oil. The electric motor is a brushless, shaded pole type with oil proof leads and windings to permit immersion in oil for maximum protection and constant lubrication. (No pulleys or belts are required.) 0 A plastic spacer used between the diaphragm and metal casting prevents any of the pumped solution from reaching the metal casting or gear train even in the event of a diaphragm rupture. • The unit is compact and light weight. Net weight is only 14 pounds. • The pump head assembly consists of only 7 major parts. It can be disassembled and assembled in a few minutes. 2 CURATE - EXTREMELY SIMPLE TO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN The unit can be installed, as shown, to inject solutions into water mains against pressures up to 150 p.s.i. Plastic tubing, foot valve and back check valve accompany each unit. For injecting solutions against negative pres- sures an anti - syphon valve can be provided. For 220 or 440 volt power a small transformer can be furnished. i ii r—V W A --r �VALVZ, OR// /C[,Oot (t /ew INSTALLATION DIAGRAM CHLORINATING SWIMMING POOLS, DRINKING WATER AND INDUSTRIAL WASTES The MODEL S can feed up to 60 gallons of sodium or calcium hypochlorite solution a day. This is equal to 50 pounds of chlorine per 24 hours if a solution having 10% available chlorine by weight is used. Pumping a 10% chlorine solution it can treat up to six million gallons of water. in a day at a 1 p: p.m - dosage.. It will pump equally well chlorine solutions made from liquid bleach or any of the common powders. CONTROL OF PIPE LINE CORROSION AND INCRUSTATION The MODEL S is u$ed to pump polyphosphates. and ammonia compounds •. for. the prevention of corrosion and elimination of "red" water in power plant boilers and water pipes. THE MODEL S PUMPS VIRTUALLY ALL CHEMICALS USED IN WATER TREATMENT A partial list includes solutions of: Alum for coagulation. Acids for alkalinity reduction: Hypochlorite for sulphur removal. MODEL S- DUPLEX Polyphosphates for corrosion prevention; and iron sequestering. Soda.for elevation of pH and stabilization. MODEL S- DUPLEX is a twin head pump. Each head has the same specifications and capacities as the MODEL S. It may be used to feed two different chemical solutions simultane- ously, each at the desired rate. For example: a hypochlo- rite solution may be fed in proper amount to chlorinate a supply, and soda or polyphosphate may be fed at the de- sired rate to prevent corrosion or to stabilize a water. Output of each head is independent of the other and adjust- ment can be made while the unit is operating. 3 SPECIFICATIONS OUTPUT OF PUMP HEAD STROKES 60 GALS. /24 HRS.

Illustration 1 shows the simple removal of the flow meter, while Illustration 2 shows the removal of the rate valve assembly. Both of these conversions can be performed by any operator in a few min- utes. The user is thus provided with complete flexibility of operation over a 10,000:1 chlorine flow range. Increases in chlorinator capacity may require an increase in water rate necessitating a change in ejector nozzle and throat assembly. This change is readily accomplished by the removal of the solution hose and two nuts as shown in Illustration 3 Decreases in chlorinator capacity do not require changes in nozzle and throat assembly.

If the vacuum is lost and air enters the chlorin- ator, the tantalum vacuum shut -off valve closes tightly on the Teflon seat. This metal to tough resilient plastic combination results in a bubble - tight closure — far superior to that provided by metal on metal. Double protection against positive pressure in the chlorinator is achieved primarily by means of the vent plug valve in the ejector block and sec- ondarily by the pressure relief valve in the chlorine regulator. Excess vacuum created by interruption in chlo- rine supply is prevented by means of the vacuum breaker in the chlorine regulator. All components are connected through the vent system to outdoors. Flooding of the chlorinator is prevented by the two ball check valves (glass balls and Teflon seats for tight sealing) incorporated in the ejec- tor assembly. A drain connection is provided to carry water to a floor drain. 11 i DIMENSIONS & SPECIFICATIONS i All Dimensions in Inches VENT CONN._� 24 4316 44 40 2? 138 8 REAR VIEW —1 —20-1 4- 8 MOUNTING Chlorine Supply Connec- tion NPT (inches) OUTLET CONNECTION Discharge Connec- tion for hose size (inches) WATER II HOLES IN CASE 15 6 I I III -� OVERFLOW 14 e CONNECTION I 1,1(BASE) I 2 CHLORINE 3/4 1 15 2 PRESSURE GAUGE 2 2.0- 40 3/4 1-1/2 3/4 WATER 7.0- 75 3/4 1-1/2 3/4 5 PRESSURE GAUGE 3/4 1-1/2 3/4 8 10.0- 200 3/4 CHLORINE 1 12 30.0- 400 3/4 1-1/2 1 or 1 - 1/2 FLOWRATOR METER 30.0- 700 3/4 1-1/2 1 - 1/2 32 50.0 -1000 CHLORINE 1 -1/2 1 -1/2 39 O INLET CONNECTION CHLORINE RATE VALVE .

N0. 19949 ' 1 6-6-52 Publiention No. TP - 71 - C - 1 WALLACE & TIERNAN FLUORIDATORS Fluoridation of drinking water for the reduc- tion of the incidence of dental caries must be closely controlled —too much fluoride causes tooth mottling, too little greatly reduces the benefits. Aside from this particular need for accuracy, however, the feeding of fluorides is little different from the application of other water treatment chemicals. Accordingly, to meet the requirements of fluoridation, special controls and safety features have been added to the proven designs of W &T Chemical Feeders to give a complete line of W &T Fluoridators. Prac- tical design in these units permits easy adjust- ment of feed rates to compensate for varying plant and water conditions, and sturdy construc- tion gives trouble -free operation without the necessity of frequent shut -down for cleaning or repairs. There are W &T Fluoridators for every type and size of water supply —from the smallest to the largest —for gravity or pumped systems. Selection of the most satisfactory Fluoridator for any community is dependent upon many factors, the more important of which are: (1) the quantity of water to be treated; (2 ) the chemical form of fluoride to be used; (3 ) the method of water treatment; (4) whether it is a pumped or gravity supply; (S) the type of operating supervision available; and (6) the regulations of local and state health depart- ments. W &T Representatives will take these factors into consideration when recommending equipment for your community. Solistion Feed Fluoridators For the small water supply, where the pump - age is intermittent or the flow fluctuates, the Wallace & Tiernan Solution Feed Fluoridators are particularly well adapted because they can it W &T Type HEMP Solution Feed Fluoridator be synchronized with the pumps or can be oper- ated on a fully automatic basis with feed rate proportional to the flow. These units can be used for feeding solutions of sodium fluoride, or, because of their corrosion resistant construction, will handle hydrofluosilicic acid directly and accurately without dilution. Essentially, the Solution Feed Fluoridators are diaphragm pumps constructed of corrosion resistant materials, so designed that the rate of feed may be easily adjusted to provide the re- quired rate of treatment. They are available in two types. Both the Type HEMP and the Type AHWM are designed for application against a wide range of pressure, being equipped with the exclusive balanced diaphragm. During the suction stroke, when fluoride solution is drawn into the pump- ing chamber, the reverse side of the diaphragm is open to atmosphere. While the fluoride is being pumped, water is admitted behind the diaphragm so that the pressures on both sides of the dia- phragm are equal. Just before the next suction stroke, the pressure behind the diaphragm is re- leased, completing the pumping cycle. This prin- ciple of operation gives extraordinarily long dia- phragm life because of minimum strain, allows ,the pump to deliver a uniform volume of solu- tion regardless of the pressure encountered, and reduces power consumption. To prevent the possibility of syphoning an entire container of fluoride into the supply at one time, a syphon breaker is built into the dis- charge connection of all W &T Solution Feed Fluoridators. Type HEMP Fluoridator: The electric unit, Type HEMP, utilizes a small, integral electric motor drive and may be controlled manually or may be synchronized with other apparatus for automatic start and stop operation. The rate of application may be easily varied by changing the length of the pumping stroke adjustment or by the selection on the gear selector control of either of two operating speeds. Motor and gears are entirely enclosed and operate in an oil bath —hence there is no lubrication problem. Type AHWM Fluoridator: The second Solu- tion Feed Fluoridator, the Automatic Type AHWM, is powered by a built -in water motor and is paced by a water meter for fully auto- matic proportional flow control. Variation in dosage is accomplished by varying the length of stroke, for which purpose a control handle and dial are provided on the equipment.

In addition, an extremely long pumping stroke in relation to the pumping cycle ensures uniform application. Dry Feed Fluoridators The W &T Types NA and MOF Dry Feed Fluoridators, suitable for the feeding of either sodium fluoride or sodium silicofluoride, have been proved in principle through the years of operation of other similar W &T Feeders hand- ling various water works chemicals. For the intermediate sized supply up to ap- proximately 8 m.g.d., the Wallace & Tiernan Type NA Fluoridator is ideal. This feeder is accurate, dependable, compact and ruggedly constructed. To meet the special requirements of fluoridation, the feeder is designed so that the hopper and feed mechanism are mounted on a platform scale to facilitate periodic checks on the weight of chemical remaining in the hopper. This design permits the solution pot and con- necting water and solution lines to be floor mounted, eliminating any weighing inaccuracies which might result if these, too, were scale mounted. On larger supplies handling over 8 m.g.d., the type MOF Fluoridator is generally used. This feeder, with its inherent accuracy and trouble - tree operation, is also designed for mounting the hopper and feed mechanism on a scale, prefer- ably of the dial recording loss -of- weight type. Both the Types NA and MOF Fluoridators may be equipped with dust collectors to prevent fluoride dust from entering the plant during hopper loading as well as with large capacity hopper extensions if desired. Type NA Fluoridator: The Type NA Fluor- idator is based on a design developed by W &T for feeding vitamin concentrates in flour mills. As such, it incorporates many unique features which ensure the maximum in accurate, depend- able performance. The following are some of its outstanding characteristics: Feed rate does not vary from the set amount regardless of the amount of chemical in the hopper. The same inherent accuracy is main- tained for both the lowest and the highest rates of feed. W &T Type NA Volumetric Fluoridator The upper part of the hopper is constructed of sheet metal and is attached to the feed sec - tion, which contains the stainless steel feed rolls, by a flexible material. An eccentric motion flexes the entire hopper to positively prevent arching, caking or lumping of the material as it is being fed. Guide vanes distribute the material evenly across the face of the upper roll to assure an even distribution, which in turn contributes to the extreme accuracy of the feeder under all feeding conditions. Only the highest quality materials are used in the Type NA Fluoridator. All gears are of W &T Type MOF Volumetric Fluoridator special gear bronze —worms are of special steel. All high speed revolving parts have oil -bath lubricated ball bearings. A visible float riding on top of the charge in the hopper enables the operator to tell at a glance when the hopper needs refilling. Operation is as follows: Fluoride powder flows from the hopper onto slow moving feed rolls which deliver a ribbon of chemical across the feed apron, from which it falls into the solution mixing chamber. After a thorough mixing, ensured by a swirl action in the mixing chamber, the fluoride solu- tion flows by gravity or is pumped to the point of application. Changes in feed rate are made by varying the width of the ribbon of chemical discharging from the feed rolls. This variation is accom- plished by simple adjustment of the graduated feed slide. The feeder has four capacity ranges each offering complete adjustment from maxi- mum to minimum for the particular range. Change from high to low or vice versa is easily made by reversing the positions of two gears. Two intermediate gear ratios for intermediate ranges are also furnished. Type MOF Fluoridator: Among the many features of the MOF Fluoridator which ensure accuracy and dependability are: positive agita- tion to prevent chemical arching in the hopper; free discharge of the measured chemical; cali- brated feed controls; dust -tight construction; totally enclosed ball bearing motor; adequate lubrication provisions; and overhead feed ar- rangement so designed that the chemical load in the hopper does not affect the rate of feed. The Type MOF Fluoridator incorporates the same basic principles and the same fine construc- tion as the Type NA described above. It is a dependable, accurate unit, the design of which has been proved in years of operation and which is intended for plants somewhat larger than can be handled by the Type NA. A wide operating range is available without the necessity of changing gears or varying the speed drive. Adjustment of the feed is effected by varying the stroke of the feed spout. This adjustment is performed by turning a hand wheel located adjacent to the drive mechanism. A calibrated feed scale indicates the position of the adjustment which can be locked with a simple quarter turn of the locking lever. Not only is this Fluoridator enclosed to prevent the escape of fluoride dust when in operation, but this complete housing also prevents the access of dust to the bearings and drive mechanism. Operation of the type MOF Fluoridator is direct and simple.

From the bottom of the hopper the fluoride flows through an adjustable orifice onto a feed spout. The feed spout, equip- ped with a feed roll, ensures discharge of a uni- form ribbon of chemical. Discharge of the material from the feeder is accomplished by backward and forward movement of the feed spout which pushes the material off on the for- ward stroke. Regulation of the rate of feed is accomplished by controlling the length of the feed spout discharge stroke. The discharge of fluoride from the feed spout falls freely to a solu- tion chamber where it is thoroughly mixed by the swirling action of the water before it flows or is pumped to the point of application. Merehen Neigh -Feed Fluoridator For large municipalities, the W &T Merchen Weigh -Feed Fluoridator is well suited. It is a tested and proved gravimetric feeder patterned after the Merchen Chemical Feeder which has been successfully handling a great variety of materials in water, flour, cereal, and feed plants for many years. Extreme accuracy is ensured since the fluoride is weighed and fed simultaneously, the feed rate being determined by weight. This unit provides a machine whose rugged, careful design combines the inherent accuracy of gravimetric feeding with compact, dependable construction that gives trouble -free operation. In essence, the Merchen Fluoridator is a com- bination feeder and scale that controls, by weight, delivery of the fluoride to be fed. It is so designed that the desired weight of feed can be set by counter weights on the scale beam, and the feeder will then continuously maintain the selected rate of delivery. Any density variations of the fluoride will instantly be compensated for by the corrective action of the feeder. Various belt speeds are made available by a simple change of gear arrangement giving a total range of from a few pounds to several hundred pounds per hour. Each arrangement has a nor- mal feed range of approximately 30 to 1. W &T Merchen Weigh -Feed Gravinzetric Fluoridator A tally unit may be incorporated in the feeder which indicates the amount of fluoride fed over any period of time. The Merchen Fluoridator has three principal operating units; the vertical feed gate section, the weigh section, and the scale beam. The fluoride to be fed enters the vertical feed gate section from a hopper, the feed gate control- ling the amount of fluoride falling onto the weigh belt. The weigh belt carries the fluoride over the weigh sec- tion where the weight of the material on the belt is continuously counter bal- lanced by the preset weight on the scale beam. If the rate of feed is too high or too low, up or down movement of the scale beam closes electrical con- tacts which rotate a cam which in turn lowers or raises the position of the ver- tical feed gate to increase or decrease the rate of feed onto the belt. The weigh belt is driven at a constant speed by a synchronous motor, and feed rate variation is obtained by changing the position of the counter weights on the scale beam. 6 8 J l A OD 0 o N O CO 0 0 0 o 0 0 ° 0 60 w W PLAN Cr 9 z_ G C 4:0 12 g" 2941 7° i D F fold to N N 0 o O O _ 0.

HILLIGE AQUA TESTER Modern Apparatus for Precise ANALYSIS OF WATER, SEWAGE, INDUSTRIAL WASTE, AND HYDROGEN ION MEASUREMENTS Using Standard Methods Approved and Published Jointly by the American Public Health and American Water Works Associations The Hellige Aqua Tester provides the utmost in permanence, accuracy and reliability which, in combination with ease of oper- ation, make it the instrument of choice in the water laboratory. It has been specially designed for use with Nessler tubes of 200 mm viewing depth and is of particular value in the determination of the color of water and in chemical tests involving minute quan- tities of the constituents. The apparatus is highly recommended, also, for pH measurements of weakly buffered waters as satis- factory color intensity is obtained by adding only 1/16 of the amount of indicator solution required for tubes of 13 mm view- ing depth. This small quantity cannot affect appreciably even an unbuffered test sample. The accuracy achieved with the simple calorimetric procedure of the Hellige Aqua Tester compares favorably with the results obtained in the more complicated electrometric method. The apparatus consists of a metal housing with heavy iron base. Attached to the tilted viewing surface is a light shield which facilitates comparison of colors in the presence of extraneous light. The platform supporting the light shield covers the color disc and can be removed with ease so that rapid interchange of the discs can be effected. For increased accuracy, a magnifying prism attachment is furnished with Aqua Testers Nos. 611 -A and 611 -BA to bring the colors into juxtaposition in one enlarged field as illustrated in actual size to the right. At any time, prism attachment No. 600 -PA, listed on the reverse of this page, can be acquired as a separate item and attached to Aqua Tester No. 611 or 611 -B. Two compartments enclosed in the front of the apparatus provide storage space for accessories and color disc case No. 600 -CD. The sloping rear of the housing is formed by a hinged cover to which is at- tached an opal glass plate, Corning Daylite Glass Filter, and a stage with two pair of spring clips. The center clips hold the two Nessler tubes used in the test; the other pair is for spare tubes. The tubes are automatically adjusted to the optical axis of the apparatus and are readily accessible for convenient in- sertion or removal. The light bulb beneath the hinged cover is horizontally adjustable to insure uniform illumination of the color fields; together with the opal glass plate and Corning Daylite Glass Filter it provides the light most suitable for colorimetric work independent of time or weather. The Nessler tubes designed for use with the Hellige Aqua Tester were the first to combine the ad- vantage of being filled or emptied rapidly with the special feature of accurate adjustment of the liquid height made automatically by means of the solid glass plunger illustrated. Each tube is of exactly the same viewing depth, and the inconvenience of purchasing "matched sets" is avoided. The tubes are pro- vided with piano- parallel bottom plates, which with the plane surfaces of the glass plungers insures per- fectly uniform color fields free from distortion and shadows. (OVER) III The color comparison is made by revolving the color disc which extends to the right from beneath the light shield to provide fingertip control of the standards. This brings one standard after another into the observation field for an accurate color match between _ the specimen and one of the standards. The values of the standards are clearly visible and readings are direct and unmistakable. With the inclined viewing surface, determina- tions can be made comfortably while seated.

It further serves as a feed rate control and gas shut -off. meter The Series A -677 Chlorinator utilizes a calibrated glass orifice meter which serves two vital functions. In conjunction with other control components, it controls the gas flow and in conjunction with a water column, it serves as a flow indicator. For these two functions, the simplicity of the unobstructed, circular orifice has obvious advantages. It gives the least possible surface on which impurities may be de- posited. The scale of the associated water manometer provides excellent legibility by means of large numerals. injector The injector is of the efficient aspirator type and is designed to resist both the corrosive effect of moist chlorine and also the erosion of high velocity water. It is equipped with a strainer on the water inlet and a check valve on the chlorine inlet. vacuum relief and The vacuum relief serves both to prevent possible back flow of overflow water into the chlorine inlet connections and also to vent to the outside atmosphere any possible leakage past the chlorine pressure reducing valve during shut -down. Its operation is based on positive water seals and there are no parts to clog or stick. The overflow carries to waste any possible water leakage past the injector check valve during shut -down. series A - 677 chlorinator - _PANEL _.. l 2' -I 11/2° ii �1 qi I jr_ 1 I I I 3'-11/29 1 CHLORINATOR 1 TO FL OR FINISHED FLOOR �- 14%61 19 %Z FRONT VIEW SIDE VIEW DIMENSIONS FLOOR STAND FOR CHLORINATOR- SERIES A 677 M75 MAIN ST..

A Series A -677 Chlorinator mounted on wall. An op- tional floor stand can be provided when required. safety The vacuum principle of operation ensures protection for plant personnel and equipment against chlorine leakage as the gas, from the time it enters the chlorinator, is always under less than atmos- pheric pressure. Any leakage that might occur would be an air leak into the machine rather than a chlorine leak out of it. OPERATION In the Manual Control Series A-677 Chlorinator, the chlorine gas is metered and controlled under a vacuum developed by an aspirator type injector. The gas enters the chlorinator through an adjustable spring loaded, diaphragm operated pressure reducing valve. The setting of this valve determines the vacuum ahead of the metering orifice, through which the gas passes next. A manometer is connected across the metering orifice to indicate rate of gas flow. From the metering orifice the gas passes through a meter vacuum control unit on its way to the injector where it is dissolved in water and from which the resultant solution is discharged to the point of application. The meter vacuum control unit functions to maintain a constant vacuum on the downstream side of the metering orifice. This is accomplished by the simple expedient of adding makeup water, under definite hydraulic conditions, to positively limit in- jector vacuum. Thus the downstream metering orifice vacuum is a constant and the upstream vacuum depends on the spring tension on the chlorine pressure reducing valve diaphragm. Since this valve is, in essence, a force balance system, it provides the means of controlling the rate of gas flow. Increasing spring tension by means of the control handle on the front of the chlorinator increases the vacuum necessary for balance, thereby reducing the differential across the metering orifice, and, as a result, reduces the chlorine flow. The chlorine pres- sure reducing valve, therefore, acts not only to reduce pressure to below atmospheric but also as an adjustable flow control valve and as a shut -off valve in the event that injector water supply failure destroys the operating vacuum.

The auxiliary injector runs continuously and discharges to waste, thus assuring that the chlorinator is always primed for instant service and that any possible leakage past the chlorine pressure reducing valve, during shut -down periods, will be discharged. Usually the control circuit for actuating this auxiliary equipment is taken from pumps or other plant equipment with ;which chlorinator` operation is to be synchronized.

All parts are readily accessible for inspection and servicing. Proper connections are included for chlorine gas, water, vacuum relief and overflow. The mounting panel is made of corrosion proof, non- metallic material and has a multi -coat finish of gray lacquer. The wall mounting brackets and the optional floor mounting stand are protected against corrosion by a multi -coat finish of black, modified phenolic. Other parts are designed especially for chlorine service and are made of such materials as silver, glass, hard rubber or plastic. design features Chlorine Pressure Reducing Valve The chlorine pressure reducing valve is diaphragm operated and is adjustable. It functions so as to reduce gas pressure to below atmospheric, serve as a flow con- trol means ahead of the meter and shut off the flow of gas in the event of interruption of the chlorinator water supply or stoppage in the solution discharge line. Meter —The meter consists of a circular glass orifice assembly having no moving parts, and presenting a minimum periphery, together with a manometer type rate of flow indicator reading directly in pounds of chlorine per 24 hours. Design is such that the orifice serves both as part of the metering system and as part of the flow control system, thus eliminating the need for separate units for these functions. Ac- curacy of the meter is such that it will indicate the true delivery of chlorine within 4% on all flows within its calibrated range. Connec- tions can be provided to operate a vacuum type chlorine flow recorder. Vacuum Relief —The vacuum relief is positive acting and water - sealed. It serves to prevent possible back flow of water into the chlorine inlet connections. Injector —The injector produces and discharges the chlorine solution to the point of application. It is of the aspirator type and is de- signed for resistance to both the corrosive effect of moist chlorine and the erosion of high velocity water. It is equipped with a ball check valve on the chlorine inlet. Visibility and Accessibility— Operation of the chlorine pressure re- ducing valve, metering orifice, vacuum relief and injector suction tube is visible while the chlorinator is functioning. This permits visual inspection of the performance at all times. In addition, construction is such that all of these parts are readily accessible for cleaning, ad- justment or other servicing. methods of control The chlorinator is equipped for manual or program control as follows: Manual —The rate of feed is set manually on the chlorinator and will remain at the set rate until changed. Program = (Intermittent Start - Stop) —The rate of feed is set man- ually on the chlorinator and will remain at the set rate until changed. Starting and stopping is accomplished automatically in synchronism with a time switch or other equipment circuit such as a pump. CAT.

COPYRIGHT 1954 WALLACE 9 TIERNAN INCORPORATED WESTCO TURBINE PUMPS. Dimensions CAT. SHEET NO. 135.080 Lf GENERAL FLUORIDATION of drinking water in smaller communities involves several factors which should be considered before equipment for feeding fluorides is purchased. Since only very small quantities of fluorides are to be fed — and the amount fed is critical -- ex- treme accuracy of feed must be inherent in any fluoridator selected. With the limited personnel usually available in most smaller towns, it is essential that the fluoridator be dependable, sturdy, and trouble free, with easy adjustment of feed rate. Wallace & Tiernan Solution Feed Fluoridators have proven their ability to meet these special requirements of fluoridation. DESIGN FEATURES For the small water supply, where the pump - age is intermittent or the flow fluctuates, Wallace & Tiernan Solution Feed Fluoridators are par- ticularly well adapted because they can be syn- chronized with the pumps or can be operated on a fully automatic basis with feed rate proportional to the flow. These units can be used for feeding solutions of sodium fluoride, or, because of their corrosion resistant construction, will handle hydro - fluosilicic acid accurately with or without dilution. W &T Solution Feed Fluoridators are available in two types: The first, an electric unit, Type HEMP, utilizes a small, integral electric motor drive and may be controlled manually or may be synchronized with other apparatus for automatic start - and -stop opera- tion. The rate of application may be easily varied by manually adjusting the length of the pumping stroke or by the selection on the gear selector con- trol of either of two operating speeds. Motor and gears are entirely enclosed and operate in an oil bath —hence there is no lubrication problem. Publication No. TP -78 -C SOLUTION FEED FLUORI DATORS W &T Type HEMP Solution Feed Fluoridator. The second Solution Feed Fluoridator, the Type AHWM is powered by a built -in water motor and is paced by a water meter for fully automatic pro- portional flow control. Variation in dosage may be accomplished by varying the length of stroke, for which purpose a control handle and dial are provided on the equipment. Once a particular dosage is set, the unit will automatically maintain that rate of application proportional to the flow of water being treated. The accuracy of the W &T Automatic Fluoridator, when used with either small or large meters, is outstanding. In addition, an extremely rapid suction stroke in relation to the pumping cycle ensures uniform application. WALLAC E & TI ERNAN NEWARK 1, NEW JERSEY WALLACE & TIERNAN OPERATION Essentially, the Solution Feed Fluoridators are dia- phragm pumps constructed of corrosion resistant materials, so designed that the rate of feed may be easily adjusted to provide the required rate of treatment. Both the Type HEMP and the Type AHWM are designed for application against a wide range of pres- sure, being equipped with W &T's exclusive balanced diaphragm. During the suction stroke, when fluoride solution is drawn into the pumping chamber, the re- verse side of the diaphragm is open to atmosphere. While the fluoride is being pumped, water is admitted behind the diaphragm so that the pressures on both sides of the diaphragm are equal. Just before the next suction stroke, the pressure behind the diaphragm is released, completing the pumping cycle. This principle of operation gives extraordinarily long diaphragm life because of minimum strain, allows the pump to deliver a uniform volume of solution regardless of the pressure encountered, and reduces power consumption. Although there is no danger of syphoning solution through the feeder when the feeder is installed in the recommended manner, added protection is given by a syphon breaker which is built into the discharge con- nection of all W &T Solution Feed Fluoridators.

Aside from this particular need for accuracy, however, the feeding of fluorides is little different from the application of other water treatment chemicals. Accordingly, to meet the requirements of fluoridation, special controls and safety features have been added to the proven designs of W &T Chemical Feeders to give a complete line of W &T Fluoridators. Prac- tical design in these units permits easy adjust- ment of feed rates to compensate for varying plant and water conditions, and sturdy construc- tion. gives trouble -free operation without the necessity of frequent shut -down for cleaning or repairs. There are W &T Fluoridators for every type and size of water supply —from the smallest to the largest —for gravity or pumped systems. Selection of the most satisfactory Fluoridator for any community is dependent upon many factors, -the more important -of which are: (1) the quantity of water to be treated; (2 ) the chemical form of fluoride to be used; (3 ) the method of water treatment; (4) whether it is a pumped or gravity supply; (S) the type of operating supervision available; and (6) the regulations of local and state health depart- ments. W &T Representatives will take these factors into consideration when recommending equipment for your community. Solution Feed Flesoridators For the small water supply, where the pump - age is intermittent or the flow fluctuates, the Wallace & Tiernan Solution Feed Fluoridators are particularly well adapted because they can W &T Type HEMP Solution Feed Fluoridator be synchronized with the pumps or can be oper- ated on a fully automatic basis with feed rate proportional to the flow. These units can be used for feeding solutions of sodium fluoride, or, because of their corrosion resistant construction, will handle hydrofluosilicic acid directly and accurately without dilution. Essentially, the Solution Feed Fluoridators are diaphragm pumps constructed of corrosion resistant materials, so designed that the rate of feed may be easily adjusted to provide the re- quired rate of treatment.* They are available in two types. Both the Type HEMP and the Type AHWM are designed.for application against a wide range of pressure, being equipped with the exclusive balanced diaphragm. During the suction stroke, when fluoride solution is drawn into the pump- ing chamber, the reverse side of the diaphragm is open to atmosphere. While the fluoride is being pumped, water is admitted behind the diaphragm so that the pressures on both sides of the dia- phragm are equal. Just before the next suction stroke, the pressure behind the diaphragm is re- leased, completing the .pumping cycle. This prin- ciple of operation gives extraordinarily long dia- phragm life because of minimum strain, allows ,the pump to deliver a uniform volume of solu- tion regardless of the pressure encountered, and reduces power consumption. To prevent the possibility of syphoning an entire container of fluoride into the supply at one . time, a syphon breaker is built into the dis- charge connection of all W &T Solution Feed Fluorida -tors. Type HEMP Fluoridator: The electric unit, Type HEMP, utilizes a small, integral electric motor drive and may be controlled manually or may be synchronized with other apparatus for automatic start and stop operation. The rate of application may be easily varied by changing the length of the pumping stroke adjustment or by the selection on the gear selector control of either of two operating speeds. Motor and gears are entirely enclosed and operate in an oil bath —hence there is no lubrication problem. Type AHWM Fluoridator: The second Solu- tion Feed Fluoridator, the Automatic Type AHWM, is powered by° a built -in water motor and is paced by a water meter for fully auto- matic proportional flow control. Variation in dosage is accomplished by varying the length of stroke, for which purpose a control handle and dial are provided on the equipment. The accuracy of the W &T Automatic Fluori- dator, when used with either small or large meters, is outstanding. In addition, an extremely long pumping stroke in relation to the pumping cycle ensures uniform application. Dry Feed Fluoridators The W &T Types NA and MOF Dry Feed Fluoridators, suitable for the feeding of either sodium fluoride or sodium silicofluoride, have been proved in principle through the years of operation of other similar W &T Feeders hand- ling various water works chemicals. For the intermediate sized supply up to ap- proximately 8 m.g.d., the Wallace & Tiernan Type NA Fluoridator is ideal. This feeder is accurate, dependable, compact and ruggedly constructed. To meet the special requirements of fluoridation, the feeder is designed so that the hopper and feed mechanism are mounted on a platform scale to facilitate periodic checks on the weight of chemical remaining in the hopper. This design permits the solution pot and con- necting water and solution lines to be floor mounted, eliminating any weighing inaccuracies which might result if these, too, were scale mounted. On larger supplies handling over 8 m.g.d., the type MOF Fluoridator is generally used. This feeder, with its inherent accuracy and trouble - free operation, is also designed for mounting the hopper and feed mechanism on a scale, prefer- ably of the dial recording loss -of- weight type. Both the Types NA and MOF Fluoridators may be equipped with dust collectors to prevent fluoride dust from entering the plant during hopper loading as well as with large capacity hopper extensions if desired. Type NA Fluoridator: The Type NA Fluor- idator is based on a design developed by W &T for feeding vitamin concentrates in flour mills. As such, it incorporates many unique features which ensure the maximum in accurate, depend- able performance. The following are some of its outstanding characteristics: Feed rate does not vary from the set amount regardless of the amount of chemical in the hopper. The same inherent accuracy is main- tained for both the lowest and the highest rates of feed. W &T Type NA Volumetric Fluoridator The upper part of the hopper is constructed of sheet metal and is attached to the feed sec - tion, which contains the stainless steel feed rolls, by a flexible material. An eccentric motion flexes the entire hopper to positively prevent arching, caking or lumping of the material as it is being fed. Guide vanes distribute the material evenly across the f ace of the upper roll to assure an even distribution, which in turn contributes to the extreme accuracy of the feeder under all feeding conditions. Only the highest quality materials are used in the Type NA Fluoridator. All gears are of W &T Type MOF Volmnetric Fluoridator special gear bronze worms are of special steel. All high speed revolving parts have oil -bath lubricated ball bearings. A visible float riding on top of the charge in the hopper enables the operator to tell at a glance when the hopper needs refilling. Operation is as follows: Fluoride powder flows from the hopper onto slow moving feed rolls which deliver a ribbon of chemical across the feed apron, from which it falls into the solution mixing chamber. After a thorough mixing, ensured by a swirl action in the mixing chamber, the fluoride solu- tion flows by gravity or is pumped to the point of application. Changes in feed rate are made by varying the width of the ribbon of chemical discharging from the feed rolls. This variation is accom- plished by simple adjustment of the graduated feed slide. The feeder has four capacity ranges each offering complete adjustment from maxi- mum to minimum for the particular range. Change from high to low or vice versa is easily made by reversing the positions of two gears. Two intermediate gear ratios for intermediate ranges are also furnished. Type MOF Fluoridator: Among the many features of the MOF Fluoridator which ensure accuracy and dependability are: positive agita- tion to prevent chemical arching in the hopper; free discharge of the measured chemical; cali- brated feed controls; dust- tight construction; totally enclosed ball bearing motor; adequate lubrication provisions; and overhead feed ar- rangement so designed that the chemical load in the hopper does not affect the rate of feed. The Type MOF Fluoridator incorporates the same basic principles and the same fine construc- tion as -the Type NA described above. It is a dependable, accurate unit, the design of which has been proved in years of operation and which is intended for plants somewhat larger than can be handled by the Type NA. A wide operating range is available without the necessity of changing gears or varying the speed drive. Adjustment of -the feed is effected by varying the stroke of the feed spout. This adjustment is performed by turning a hand wheel located adjacent to the drive mechanism. A calibrated feed scale indicates the position of the adjustment which can be locked with a simple quarter turn of the locking lever. Not only is this Fluoridator enclosed to prevent the escape of fluoride dust when in operation, but this complete housing also prevents the access of dust to the bearings and drive mechanism. Operation of the type MOF Fluoridator is direct and simple.

I to prevent arching. From the bottom of the hopper the fluoride flows through an adjustable orifice onto a feed spout. The feed spout, equip- ped with a feed roll, ensures discharge of a uni- form ribbon of chemical. Discharge of the material from the feeder is accomplished by backward and forward movement of the feed spout which pushes the material off on the for- ward stroke. Regulation of the rate of feed is accomplished by controlling the length of the teed spout discharge stroke. The discharge of fluoride from the feed spout falls freely to a solu- tion chamber where it is thoroughly mixed by the swirling action of the water before it flows or is pumped to the point of application. Merchen Weigh -Feed Fluoridator For large municipalities, the W &T Merchen Weigh -Feed Fluoridator is well suited. It is a tested and proved gravimetric feeder patterned after the Merchen Chemical Feeder which has been successfully handling a great variety of materials in water, flour, cereal, and feed plants for many years. Extreme accuracy is ensured since the fluoride is weighed and fed simultaneously, the feed rate being determined by weight. This unit provides a machine whose rugged, careful design combines the inherent accuracy of gravimetric feeding with compact, dependable construction that gives trouble -free operation. In essence, the Merchen Fluoridator is a com- bination feeder and scale that controls, by weight, delivery of the fluoride to be fed. It is so designed that the desired weight of feed can be set by counter weights on the scale beam, and the feeder will then continuously maintain the selected rate of delivery. Any density variations of the fluoride will instantly be compensated for by the corrective action of the feeder. Various belt speeds are made available by a simple change of gear arrangement giving a total range of from a few pounds to several hundred pounds per hour. Each arrangement has a nor- mal feed range of approximately 30 to 1. W &T Merchen Weigh -Feed Gravinzetric Fluoridator A tally unit may be incorporated in the feeder which indicates the amount of fluoride fed over any period of time. The Merchen Fluoridator has three principal operating units; the vertical feed gate section, the weigh section, and the scale beam. The fluoride to be fed enters the vertical feed gate section from a hopper, the feed gate control- ling the amount of fluoride falling onto the weigh belt. The weigh belt carries the fluoride over the weigh sec- tion where the weight of the material on the belt is continuously counter bal- lanced by the preset weight on the scale beam. If the rate of feed is too high or too low, up or down movement of the scale beam closes electrical con- tacts which rotate a cam which in turn lowers or raises the position of the ver- tical feed gate to increase or decrease the rate of feed onto the belt. The weigh belt is driven at a constant speed by a synchronous motor, and feed rate variation is obtained by changing the position of the counter weights on the scale beam.

HELLIGE simple calorimetric procedure of the the results obtained in the more co AQUA TESTER Modern Apparatus for Precise ANALYSIS OF WATER, SEWAGE, INDUSTRIAL WASTE, AND HYDROGEN ION MEASUREMENTS Using Standard Methods Approved and Published Jointly by the American Public Health and American Water Works Associations ,The Hellige Aqua Tester provides the utmost in permanence, accuracy and reliability which, in combination with ease of oper- ation, make it the instrument of choice in the water laboratory. It has been specially designed for use with Nessler tubes of 200 mm viewing depth and is of particular value in the determination of the color of water and in chemical tests involving minute quan- tities of the constituents. The apparatus is highly recommended, also, for pH measurements of weakly buffered waters as satis- factory color intensity is obtained by adding only 1/16 of the amount of indicator solution required for tubes of 13 mm view- ing depth. This small quantity cannot affect appreciably even an unbuffered test sample. The accuracy achieved with the Hellige Aqua Tester compares favorably with mplicated electrometric method. The apparatus consists of a metal housing with heavy iron base. Attached to the tilted viewing surface is a light shield which facilitates comparison of colors in the presence of extraneous light. The platform supporting the light shield covers the color disc and can be removed with ease so that rapid interchange of the discs can be effected. For increased accuracy, a magnifying prism attachment is furnished with Aqua Testers Nos. 611 -A and 611 -BA to bring the colors into juxtaposition in one enlarged field as illustrated in actual size to the right. At any time, prism attachment No. 600 -PA, listed on the reverse of this page, can be acquired as a separate item and attached to Aqua Tester No. 611 or 611 -B. Two compartments enclosed in the front of the apparatus provide storage space for accessories and color disc case No. 600 -CD. The sloping rear of the housing is formed by a hinged cover to which is at- tached an opal glass plate, Corning Daylite Glass Filter, and a stage with two pair of spring clips. The center clips hold the two Nessler tubes used in the test; the other pair is for spare tubes. The tubes are automatically adjusted to the optical axis of the apparatus and are readily accessible for convenient in- sertion or removal. The light bulb beneath the hinged cover is horizontally adjustable to insure uniform illumination of the color fields; together with the opal glass plate and Corning Daylite Glass Filter it provides the light most suitable for calorimetric work independent of time or weather. The Nessler tubes designed for use with the Hellige Aqua Tester were the first to combine the ad- vantage of being filled or emptied rapidly with the special feature of accurate adjustment of the liquid height made automatically by means of the solid glass plunger illustrated. Each tube is of exactly the same viewing depth, and the inconvenience of purchasing "matched sets" is avoided. The tubes are pro- vided with plano- parallel bottom plates, which with the plane surfaces of the glass plungers insures per- fectly uniform color fields free from distortion and shadows. (OVER) The color comparison is made by revolving the color disc which extends to the right from beneath the light shield to provide fingertip control of the standards. This brings one standard after another into the observation field for an accurate color match between the specimen and one of the standards. The values of the standards are clearly visible and readings are direct and _unmistakable. With the inclined viewing surface, determina- tions can be made comfortably while seated.

INC., NEWARK 1, NEW JERSEY form No. 611 July, 1951 Printed in U. S. A. GENERAL FLUORIDATION of drinking water in smaller communities involves several factors which should be considered before equipment for feeding fluorides is purchased. Since only very small quantities of fluorides are to be fed — and the amount fed is critical -- ex- treme accuracy of feed must be inherent in any fluoridator selected. With the limited personnel usually available in most smaller towns, it is essential that the fluoridator be dependable, sturdy, and trouble free, with easy adjustment of feed rate. Wallace & Tiernan Solution Feed Fluoridators have proven their ability to meet these special requirements of fluoridation. DESIGN FEATURES For the small water supply, where the pump - age is intermittent or the flow fluctuates, Wallace & Tiernan Solution Feed Fluoridators are par- ticularly well adapted because they can be syn- chronized with the pumps or can be operated on a fully automatic basis with feed rate proportional to the flow. These units can be used for feeding solutions of sodium fluoride, or, because of their corrosion resistant construction, will handle hydro - fluosilicic acid accurately with or without dilution. W &T Solution Feed Fluoridators are available in two types: The first, an electric unit, Type HEMP, utilizes a small, integral electric motor drive and may be controlled manually or may be synchronized with other apparatus for automatic start - and -stop opera- tion. The rate of application may be easily varied by manually adjusting the length of the pumping stroke or by the selection on the gear selector con- trol of either of two operating speeds. Motor and gears are entirely enclosed and operate in an oil bath —hence there is no lubrication problem. Publication No. TP -78 -C SOLUTION FEED FLUORIDATORS 1* W &T Type HEMP Solution Feed Fluoridator. The second Solution Feed Fluoridator, the Type AHWM is powered by a built -in water motor and is paced by a water meter for fully automatic pro- portional flow control. Variation in dosage may be accomplished by varying the length of stroke, for which purpose a control handle and dial are provided on the equipment. Once a particular dosage is set, the unit will automatically maintain that rate of application proportional to the flow of water being treated. The accuracy of the W &T Automatic Fluoridator, when used with either small or large meters, is outstanding. In addition, an extremely rapid suction stroke in relation to the pumping cycle ensures uniform application. WALLACE & TI ERNAN NEWARK 11 NEW JERSEY WALLACE & TIERNAN OPERATION Essentially, the Solution Feed Fluoridators are dia- phragm pumps constructed of corrosion resistant materials, so designed that the rate of feed may be easily adjusted to provide the required rate of treatment. Both the Type HEMP and the Type AHWM are designed for application against a wide range of pres- sure, being equipped with W &T's exclusive balanced diaphragm. During the suction stroke, when fluoride solution is drawn into the pumping chamber, the re- verse side of the diaphragm is open to atmosphere. While the fluoride is being pumped, water is admitted behind the diaphragm so that the pressures on both sides of the diaphragm are equal. Just before the next suction stroke, the pressure behind the diaphragm is released, completing the pumping cycle. This principle of operation gives extraordinarily long diaphragm life because of minimum strain, allows the pump to deliver a uniform volume of solution regardless of the pressure encountered, and reduces power consumption. Although there is no danger of syphoning solution through the feeder when the feeder is installed in the recommended manner, added protection is given by a syphon breaker which is built into the discharge con- nection of all W &T Solution Feed Fluoridators.

DESIGN FEATURES accuracy The orifice meter in conjunction with the flow control device will main- tain the set feed rate within 4 %, on all flows within its calibrated range, under all normal operating variations which include, for ex- ample, reduction in chlorine supply pressure as the container is emptied. dependability This chlorinator is sturdily constructed for long life and the visible vacuum principle of operation with water diaphragm construction assures dependable service and easy maintenance. mounting The self- supporting housing is designed for floor mounting. Side panels to provide complete enclosure are available as optional equipment. chlorine pressure The float operated chlorine pressure reducing valve reduces chlorine reducing valve pressure to below atmospheric pressure immediately upon its entry to the machine. It further serves as a gas shut -off. meter The Series A -419 Chlorinator utilizes a calibrated glass orifice meter which serves two vital functions. In conjunction with other control components, it controls the gas flow and in conjunction with a water series A -419 chlorinator column, it serves as a flow indicator. For these two functions, the simplicity of the unobstructed, circular orifice has obvious advantages. It gives the least possible surface on which impurities may be de- posited. The scale of the associated water manometer provides excellent legibility by means of large numerals at eye level. injector The injector is of the efficient aspirator type and is designed to resist both the corrosive effect of moist chlorine and also the erosion of high velocity water. It is equipped with a strainer on the water inlet and a check valve on the chlorine inlet. vacuum relief and The vacuum relief serves both to prevent possible back -flow of water overflow into the chlorine inlet connections and also to vent to the outside atmosphere any possible leakage past the chlorine pressure reducing valve during shut -down. Its operation is based on positive water seals and there are no parts to clog or stick. The overflow carries to waste any possible water leakage past the injector check valve during shut -down. corrosion resistance Corrosion .resistant materials such as silver, hard rubber, glass and plastic have been used for all parts which may be in direct contact with moist chlorine gas. The sheet metal housing is phosphate treated, has a baked primer, and a multi -coat finish of corrosion resistant, gray lacquer. visibility The operation of such critical parts as the chlorine pressure reducing valve and the orifice is visible so that hidden troubles never have a chance to develop. The gages and the manometer scale are large and easily read. water diaphragm The use of the water diaphragm which is self- sealing, completely puncture - proof, friction -free and pressure sensitive throughout its entire surface, has eliminated the need for parts that might require frequent attention and adjustment. accessibility All control parts are readily accessible, thus reducing inspection and service time to a minimum. safety The vacuum principle of operation ensures protection for plant person- nel and equipment against chlorine leakage as the gas, from the time it enters the chlorinator, is always under less than atmospheric pressure. Any leakage that might occur would be an air leak into the machine rather than a chlorine leak out of it. CAT.

NO. 1405 a METERING ORIFICE MANOMETER METER VACUUM CONTROL UNIT t COLLECTING BOX OVERFLOW UHAKUt INJECTOR OPERATING LET 0 = i49w a a 0 OPERATION In the Series A -419 Chlorinator controlled manually, the chlorine gas is metered and controlled under a vacuum developed by an aspirator type injector. The gas enters the chlorinator through a float operated pressure reducing valve. This valve is actuated by the "water - diaphragm" in the bell jar so as to maintain a constant vacuum ahead of the metering orifice, through which the gas passes next. A manometer is connected across the metering orifice to indicate rate of gas flow. From the metering orifice the gas passes through a meter vacuum control unit on its way to the injector where it is dissolved in water and from which the resultant solution is discharged to the point of application. The meter vacuum control unit functions to regulate the vacuum on the downstream side of the metering orifice. This is accom- plished by the simple expedient of adding makeup water, under definite, but adjustable, hydraulic conditions, to positively regulate injector vacuum. Thus the upstream metering orifice vacuum is a constant and the downstream vacuum depends on the hydraulic gradi- ent from which makeup water is drawn. This gradient is controlled by an air vacuum (developed within the meter vacuum control unit) which is adjusted by a submergence tube. Lowering the tube increases the gradient (increases the vacuum), thereby increasing the differen- tial across the metering orifice, and, as a result, increases the chlorine flow. The submergence tube is the rate of feed control. The simplicity of visible, fixed water levels and an adjustable air vacuum assures accurate and reliable operation. The chlorine pressure reducing valve, which maintains the constant vacuum ahead of the metering orifice, also acts as a shut -off valve in the event that injector water supply failure destroys operating vacuum. Intermittent start -stop control is similar; however, either (1), the water supply to the injector and the gas supply to the chlorinator are interrupted automatically by auxiliary equipment to start and stop the chlorinator or (2), an automatic valve (also auxiliary equipment) is utilized to interrupt the injector water supply and a small auxiliary injector is incorporated in the chlorinator. The auxiliary injector runs continuously and discharges to waste, thus assuring that the chlorinator is always primed for instant service and that any possible leakage past the chlorine pressure reducing valve, during shut -down periods, will be discharged. Usually the control circuit for actuating this aux- iliary equipment is taken from pumps or other plant equipment with which chlorinator operation is to be synchronized. Controls may be electric, hydraulic or pneumatic. Other types of program control are generally similar but are accom- plished by means of various arrangements of auxiliary apparatus. Proportional automatic control, again, is similar. However the chlorinator feed rate is automatically regulated by an auxiliary inter- CAT. FILE NO. 10.110 PAGE 5 Close -up of fray showing chlorine ' pressure reducing valve, meter and vacuum relief. OPERATION (continued) mediate chlorinator control unit (converter or controller) which is actuated by a primary flow meter or other flow responsive device. This regulation is accomplished in the following way: The flow re- sponsive device produces pressure or motion which is a function of the flow. This is changed by the auxiliary intermediate chlorinator control unit to a vacuum which is a function of the flow. Applied to the meter vacuum control unit (with the adjustable submergence tube effectively taken out of the system) this vacuum produces a variable differential across the meter so that the resulting flow of gas is pro- portional to the flow through the primary meter. A supplementary control valve is available, if desired, which permits manual adjustment of the dosage rate. Demand control is functionally the same except that the auxiliary intermediate chlorinator control unit is of a type to provide feed rate control on the basis of chlorine demand instead of flow. Manual adjustment of the feed rate may be accomplished remotely, regardless of the type of control, by the addition of auxiliary equip- ment. Side view of ' Series A -419 Chlorinator. DETAILED DESCRIPTION type The chlorinator is of the solution feed visible vacuum type in which the chlorine is metered and controlled under a vacuum. capacity The maximum capacity available with a standard meter is 100 pounds per 24 hours. construction The chlorinator is mounted in a self- supporting housing and consists of the following major parts: A float operated chlorine pressure re- ducing valve; meter consisting of an orifice assembly and manometer; vacuum relief; meter vacuum control unit and injector; together with chlorine and water pressure gages and a flow control device. All parts are readily accessible for inspection and servicing. Proper connections are included for chlorine gas, water, vacuum relief and overflow. The sheet steel parts of the housing are protected against corrosion by phosphate treatment, a baked primer and a multi -coat finish of cor- rosion resistant lacquer. Other parts are designed especiallv for chlorine service and are made of such materials as silver, glass, hard rubber or plastic. design features Chlorine Pressure Reducing Valve The chlorine pressure reducing valve is float operated and the float is actuated by the water diaphragm. It functions so as to reduce gas pressure to below atmospheric, main- tain a constant vacuum ahead of the meter and shut off the flow of gas in the event of interruption of the chlorinator water supply or stoppage in the solution discharge line. Meter —The meter consists of a circular glass orifice assembly having no moving parts, and presenting a minimum periphery, together with a manometer type rate of flow indicator reading directly in pounds of chlorine per 24 hours. Design is such that the orifice serves both as part of the metering system and as part of the flow control system, CAT. FILE NO. 10.110 PAGE 7 'Rear view of Series A -419 Chlorinator with optional side panels in place. DETAILED DESCRIPTION (Continued) thus eliminating the need for separate units for these functions. Accu- racy of the meter is such that it will indicate the true delivery of chlorine within 4% on all flows within its calibrated range. Connec- tions are provided to operate a vacuum type chlorine flow recorder. . Vacuum Relief —The vacuum relief is positive acting and water sealed. It serves to prevent possible back -flow of water into the chlorine inlet connections. Injector —The injector produces and discharges the chlorine solution to the point of application. It is of the aspirator type and is designed for resistance to both the corrosive effect of moist chlorine and the erosion of high velocity water. It is equipped with a ball check valve on the chlorine inlet. Visibility and Accessibility— Operation of the chlorine pressure re- ducing valve, metering orifice, vacuum relief and injector suction tube is visible while the chlorinator is functioning. This permits visual inspection of the performance of these parts at all times. In addition, construction is such that all of these parts are readily accessible for cleaning, adjustment or other servicing. methods of control The chlorinator is equipped for manual, program or automatic control as follows: Manual —The rate of feed is set manually on the chlorinator and will remain at the set rate until changed. Program —(a) (Intermittent Start - Stop )—The rate of feed is set manually on the chlorinator and will remain at the set rate until changed. Starting and stopping is accomplished automatically in syn- chronism with a time switch or other equipment circuit such as a pump. series A -419 chlorinator DETAILED DESCRIPTION (Continued) (b) (Step -Rate) —The chlorinator is furnished with a rate con- troller containing several feed rate selectors, each of which is indi- vidually adjustable over the full range of the chlorinator meter. By means of these selectors, several different feed rates can be simultane- ously preset and the chlorinator will operate at the rate set on each selector as it is energized. Accordingly, when each selector is energized by a circuit from other plant equipment, such as a pump or pressure or float switch, the desired chlorinator feed rate for that particular requirement is automatically selected. (c) (Time - Program) —The chlorinator is furnished with a rate controller consisting of (a) a means of manually presetting several different chlorinator feed rates and (b) a 24 -hour timing and selection unit to automatically select one of the preset feed rates on a time basis. By this means, each preset rate is automatically selected and the chlorinator operates at that rate for the selected period of time. The .preset program repeats each 24 hours until manually changed. Automatic - -(a) (Proportional) —The chlorine dosage rate is set man- ually as desired. In addition, an intermediate control unit is furnished to be actuated from a primary flow responsive device or from flow metering equipment. By this means the chlorinator feed rate is made to automatically vary in proportion to the flow through the primary meter so that the set dosage rate is maintained regardless of flow. (b) (Demand) —The chlorinator is furnished with an oxidation - reduction potential recorder - controller by means of which the dosage rate is automatically adjusted to maintain a constant relationship to the chlorine demand of the treated flow. accessories Chlorinator accessories can be divided into two groups: Those which are essential to complete an installation and those which are valuable chlorination aids. The particular accessories furnished with a chlorin - ator vary with the type of chlorinator, the job requirements and the desires of the user. However, consideration should be given to the following: Essential accessories: Chlorine gas valves, connections, fittings, etc.; water line fittings; solution, overflow and vacuum relief lines; solution line fittings for the point of application; gaskets; spare glassware; lubricants; ammonia for checking leaks; maintenance tools;and oper- ating instructions. - Chlorination aids: Alarm systems, chlorine flow recorders, gas masks, residual testing equipment, side panels and weighing scales.

The chlorine pressure reducing valve, the float of which is actuated by a water diaphragm, serves to reduce gas pressure to below atmospheric immediately upon entry to the machine. The meter has no moving parts and reads directly in pounds of chlorine per 24 hours. It indicates the true delivery within 4% on all flows within its calibrated range. The injector is of the aspirator type equipped with a check valve on the chlorine inlet. The operation of the chlorine pressure reducing valve, metering orifice, vacuum relief and injector suction tube is visible at all times, thus permitting easy inspection, adjustment or cleaning. Control of the chlorinator can be manual, program or automatic. TECHNICAL DATA Solution Feed —Water Diaphragm— Vacuum Type. 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 and 100 lbs. per 24 hrs. Other meters are available depending upon operating conditions. Self- supporting housing for floor mounting. Side panels available as optional equipment. methods of control* Manual— Submergence tube on the chlorinator is manually adjusted to regulate rate of chlorine flow which is indicated on manometer located on front of chlorinator. Program— (Intermittent Start - Stop) —Feed rate is set manually as in manual control. Intermittent control may be obtained in one of two ways: (1) Auxiliary automatic valves (electric, hydraulic or pneu- matic) installed in the injector water line and chlorine gas line are utilized to interrupt operation when chlorination is to be stopped. (2) An auxiliary automatic valve (electric, hydraulic or pneumatic) in- stalled in the injector water line is utilized to interrupt operation when chlorination is to be stopped and an auxiliary injector is incorporated in the chlorinator to maintain vacuum during shut -down. In either case, control is normally taken from a pump or other equipment circuit, Various arrangements are possible. (Step -Rate and Time Program)— Step -rate and other types . of program control more complex than intermittent start -stop are ac- complished by the use of auxiliary equipment such as step -rate or * Feed rate control is accomplished by means of an air vacuum control signal equivalent to 0 " -8" of water. series A' chlorinator TECHNICAL DATA (Continued) program controllers. These units automatically adjust the feed rate to predetermined, fixed rates by means similar to manual adjustment of the submergence tube. Automatic—(Proportional )—The submergence tube used for manual control is effectively taken out of the system and its function is per- formed automatically by an auxiliary converter or controller which is actuated by a primary meter. The primary meter is also auxiliary equipment. Performance of the converter or controller in connection with the chlorinator meter vacuum control unit is such that flow changes through the primary meter produce proportional changes in gas flow through the chlorinator. A supplementary control valve is available, if desired, which permits adjustment of the dosage rate. Where a converter is to be actuated directly from a differential type primary meter and cannot be installed below the hydraulic gradient, an auxiliary air compressor must be utilized to achieve positive dif- ferentials. (Demand) — Chlorine demand control is a type of auto- matic control in which auxiliary equipment such as an oxidation -re- duction potential recorder - controller is utilized to proportion the flow of chlorine to the chlorine demand of the flow being treated. This method can be used wherever plant conditions or other limitations permit. injector operating Must be reasonably clean. Required pressure and flow depend on water supply pressure at point of application and chlorinator capacity. Allowable pressure range: 25 to 300 p.s.i. Approximate minimum flow: 35 gal. per pound of chlorinator capacity. 3/4" inlet connection. auxiliary water supply Must be of city -water quality. Allowable pressure range: 10 to 125 p.s.i. Flow is small but exact quantity depends on feed rate. 1/2" inlet connection. maximum allowable pressure Approximately 100 p.s.i. The use of solution pumps generally permits at point of application application against higher pressures.

Fisher cold Porter Compe>< submitted id in the amount of 06,067, which was 0736 less than the eats b f i, a and Tiernan Company, However, this bid of 06,087 equi ch did not comply with the specifications In that the pment proposed is of the mechanical diaphragm type, whereas the epee ifi ions req a water diaphragm type of unit. It ic; our o on that W water diaphragm type of unit is less subject to operating f 1br_JtW reasons, namelyi 1- The chlorine purchased today contains Impurities. 2- t.ater usage in Edina varies greatly between winter and summer months, resulting in certain wells not being used at times. Men the wells which have not been used are started up, the iron content of the water from then is quite high, it is.conceivable that this iroh content could effect the operation of the mechanical diaphragm type. For the foregoing reasons we feel the water diaphragm type of unit is to be preferred. The Village presently has four water diaphragm type chlorinators as manufactured by t° ►apace and Tiernan. Uniformity of equipmbnt is very de- sirable from the standpoint of the operating personnel. From the standpoint of service, the specifications also require that the chlorinators and fluoridators be manufactured by the same Company.. In the case of the Fisher and Porter bid, the fluoridators are not manufactured by them but are distributed by them. BANISTER ENGINEERING CO. CONSULTING ENGINEERS 1 S 4 9 UNIVERSITY AVENUE ST.

Re: Edina Waterworks, File #5531 Gentlemen: On the morning of September 24, at 10 A.M., bids were received by you for the furnishing of two.chlorinators and six fluoridators. Alternate bids were received for adding one additional chlorinator and one additional fluoridator. The alternate bids were requested because the future use of wells #1 and 2 is presently uncertain and will depend upon tests and in- vestigations now being considered. Two bids were received, one being from Wallace and Tiernan Company and the other from Fisher and Porter Company. The bid of Wallace and Tiernan Company was in full accordance with plans and specifications and was in the amount of $6,823 for two chlorinators and six fluoridators. Wallace and Tiernan Companyts also submitted an alternate bid on equipment which was not in accordance with plans and specifications but it was for equipment similar to that of Fisher and Porter. Fisher and Porter Company submitted a bid in the amount of $6,087, which was $736 less than the base bid of Wallace and Tiernan Company. However, this bid of $6,087 was for equipment which did not comply with the specifications in that the equipment proposed is of the mechanical diaphragm type, whereas the specifications required a water diaphragm type of unit. It is our opinion that the water diaphragm type of unit is less subject to operating failure for two reasons, namely: 1- The chlorine purchased today contains impurities. 2- Water usage in Edina varies greatly between winter and summer months, resulting in certain wells not being used at times. When the wells, which have not been used are started up, the iron content of the water from them is quite high. It is conceivable that this iroh content could effect the operation of the mechanical diaphragm type. For the foregoing reasons we feel the water diaphragm type of unit is to be preferred. The Village presently has four water diaphragm type chlorinators as manufactured by Wallace and Tiernan. Uniformity of equipment is very de- sirable from the standpoint of the operating personnel. From the standpoint of service, the specifications also require that the chlorinators and fluoridators be manufactured by the same Company. In the case of the Fisher and Porter bid, the fluoridators are not manufactured by them but are distributed by them. ENGINEERING CO.

The decree bars the companies from engaging in certain practices that the Government alleged gave, diem a- monopoly of the chlorinating equip- ment business. The original complaint was filed by the Government against the two companies on November 18, 1946. In it, the Justice De- partment charged Wallace & Tiernan and Industrial Appliance with getting a monopoly by means of patent acquisitions, patent in- fringement suits, agreements not to compete, acquisition of competitors, exclusive dealing and other practices. In addition to requiring an end of these allaged practices, the consent decree orders the two firms to make certain patents avail- able on a royalty -free basis and to "dedicate" certain other patents to the public. At the same time, a companion criminal case against Wallace & Tiernan and Novadel- Agene Corp. was brought to a close when the firms pleaded nolo contendere, that is, decided not to contest the charges. They were each fined $15,000. Three other companies in- volved in the criminal case, Wallace & Tier- nan Products, Inc., Wallace & Tiernan Sales Corp. and Industrial Appliance Corp., were each fined -$5,000. Another defendant in the criminal proced- ings, Builders Iron Foundry of Providence, was fined $8,000.

Fluorides in the public water supply may have a harmful effect on human beings. The fact: For generations over 4,000,000 people in the United States have been living all their lives in areas where the drinking water naturally con. tains fluorides in concentrations as high as or higher than that recom- mended for dental health." Many studies have been conducted among these people by competent investigators and the search has been pains- taking, yet no one has been able to find any adverse physiological effect except an enamel defect known as dental fluorosis in areas where the fluoride concentration is too high.s3 Every national health organization in the United States that speaks with authority on the benefits and safety of fluoridation has adopted policies favorable to the measure. The House of Delegates of the American Medical Association has passed a resolution endorsing fluoridation, citing the joint statement of the A.M.A. Councils on Pharmacy and Chemistry and on Foods and Nutrition that there is no evidence of toxicity that should raise any question against the fluoridation of public water supplies.2, 55 Other national organizations that have endorsed fluoridation include: American Dental Association, American Association of Public Health Dentists, Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors, Associa- tion of State and Territorial Health Officers, National Research Council, U. S. Public Health Service, American Association for .the Advancement of Science, American Academy of Pediatrics, Commission on Chronic Illness, Inter - Association Committee on Health,, American Society of Dentistry for Children, American Public Health Association, American Academy of Dental Medicine, Canadian Dental Association, Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Public Health Association, International Dental Federation, Australian Dental Association, American Pharma- ceutical Association, National Congress of Parents and Teachers, Amer- ican Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, American Legion and U. S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. The assertion: Fluorine is a poisonous substance found in rat poison and insecti- cides. The fact: This assertion is true, but the inference that the same substance in mi- nute concentration in drinking water has the same effect as fluorine in high concentrations is completely incorrect. Many substances in com- •References begin on page 19. mon use by human beings are beneficial when used in proper amounts but may be harmful when used improperly. For example, chlorine is used also in most public drinking waters in the United States. Sodium chloride is also poisonous in large amounts yet it is ordinary table salt. The assertion: 3. Fluorides cause or accelerate the growth of cancer. The fact: This statement has been made as a result of wide publicity given to a mouse cancer experiment conducted by a. biochemist at the University of Texas. A report in the Texas Dental Journal in September 1951 showed that while the biochemist was feeding forty -four one hundredths of a part fluorine per million parts water, he was unintentionally giving an additional 42 ppm (parts per million) fluorine that was contained in dog chow, the exclusive diet of the mice.3 Moreover, it was noted that the mice used in the experiment were a special strain, highly inbred for susceptibility to mammary tumors. Approximately 96- 100% of these mice.eventually succumb to mammary tumors regardless of the diet and the water. Two authorities from the United States Public Health Service visited the University of Texas and investigated the experimental work of the biochemist. They reported that there was no evidence that would go against the recommendation for the fluoridation of public water supplies. Dr. Charles S. Cameron, President of the American Cancer Society, stated in a letter to Dr. Tom M. Oliver of Waco, Texas: "No valid scien- tific evidence known to the society supports a causative relationship of fluorine (specifically in amounts used in water fluoridation for the pur. pose of dental caries prophylaxis) to cancer. On the contrary such epi- demiological and laboratory experimental data as are available indicate no such relationship." ss Additional information on this subject is provided in the records of bureaus of vital statistics in various states. The statistics indicate that cancer rates are lower in states where there are many natural fluoride areas than in states where the waters are fluoride-free .3, 4 There is no reason to believe, however, that these lower cancer rates are due to the presence of fluorides in drinking water. The assertion: 4. Fluorides cause an unsightly staining of the teeth. The fact: It is a well known fact that high concentrations of fluorides found natu- rally in public water supplies may lead to a condition known as dental fluorosis, often called mottled enamel. In such areas, the degree of dental fluorosis may be such that the dental enamel readily picks up stains which discolor the teeth. Where the drinking water contains a concentration of 1 ppm fluorine, there is evidence of a very mild degree of dental fluorosis in less than 10% of children using such water; however, this degree of dental fluorosis does not cause staining.s It can be detected only by dentists with special training and experience in recognizing such slight degrees as are present. In fact, many dentists believe that the increased white- ness associated with 1 ppm fluorine in drinking water actually enhances the beauty of the teeth .33, 34 The advantage of fluoridation is that the development of decay- resistant teeth is promoted without the staining of the teeth. The assertion: 5. Even 1 ppm fluorine in water causes staining of teeth in some parts of the country. The fact: Because water intake varies to a significant extent in relation to climate and humidity factors, health authorities recommend that the concentra- tion of fluorine in public water supplies be adjusted accordingly. 17. 48.49 The amount of fluorine required in hot, dry climates may be less than 1 ppm, and, in other areas, a little more than 1 ppm may be required for optimum benefits. However, for the majority of communities in the United States, concentration of 1 ppm is generally recommended. The amounts of fluorides necessary to control tooth decay in any region would always be less than that which would cause staining. The assertion: 6. Fluorides added to public water supplies will do untold damage to the internal organs of adults. The fact: Persons who raise such "warnings" have no evidence on which to base their charge. 8-15 Those who make unsubstantiated statements on harm- ful effects should be challenged to bring forth facts to support their con- tentions. Actual observations of individuals who have lived up to 70 years or more in areas where water has a high concentration of fluoride have not revealed injuries to the internal organs.53 The assertion: 7. Fluorides accumulating in the body will have a harmful effect on the kidneys of adults. The fact: A review of the vital statistics available from state boards of health, such as in Illinois and Wisconsin, reveals no difference in the data on nephritis in different cities with varying amounts of. fluorides in their public water supplies.5, 35, 67 It is estimated that the amount of fluorine ingested daily through drink- ing water containing 1 ppm fluorine is from 0.5 to 1.0 mg." It has also been shown that when the total amount of fluorine ingested by adults does not exceed 4.0 to 5.0 mg. daily, its elimination in the urine, per- spiration and fecal excretion is virtually complete.' The ability of the body to handle fluorides is thus more than adequate for the amount ingested through fluoridated water. The assertion: 8. Fluorides are used by industry as hardening agents and will also cause hardening of the arteries. The fact: This conclusion is based on a complete lack of understanding of the chemical and physiological actions of fluorides.14 The word "harden- ing" as it applies in industry is entirely different from "hardening" applied to the physiological process of calcification of the arteries. The assertion: 9. Fluorides in the water make bones brittle. The fact: A detailed study of 1,458 high school boys in seven cities with varying concentrations of fluorides in the public. water supplies showed no effect on bone fracture experience.30 A radiologic survey at Bartlett, Texas, where the water contains 8 ppm, revealed an increased bone density in 11% of those examined. However, this condition was not associated with functional iinpairment.13 X -ray. examinations of persons living in areas where the water contains from 1.2 to 3 ppm fluorine revealed no evidence of bone fluorosis.20 The assertion: 10. Fluorides weaken the bones of cattle. The fact: It has been reported that in some industrial areas, fluoride - bearing dust from some manufacturing plants has laid a heavy.coating of the mate- rial over nearby pasture lands. Cattle grazing in these areas have there- fore consumed.large quantities of fluorides and have suffered ill effects. Dust control measures have been taken to prevent further such occur- rences. It is dangerously misleading, however, to compare the effects of very high concentrations of fluorides with the minute amounts in public water supplies in the ratio of one part per million. The assertion: 11. Fluoridation may aggravate °the skin condition known as "acne." The fact: Because fluorine bears a close chemical relationship to bromine and iodine, there has been some fear expressed that fluorides would aggra- vate acne. This fear has been dissipated; however, by the results of tests reported by Dr. Ervin Epstein, assistant clinical professor of medi- cine in the division of dermatology of the Stanford University School of Medicine, San Francisco.t1 Dr. Epstein has published results of tests conducted on 40 acne patients in which no difference was found in the rate of improvement between the patients who took prescribed fluoride tablets and those who did not. The assertion: 12. Fluorides are by- products of aluminum, a harmful material used for cooking utensils. The fact: It has long been demonstrated that the use of aluminum cooking uten- sils has no bearing on health. Moreover, fluoride compounds used for water fluoridation are not a by- product of aluminum plants. The Alu- minum Company of America does produce sodium fluoride, but in a special plant, in the same .manner as it is produced by others not in the aluminum industry. 22, 50 The assertion: 13. Fluoridation should be put to a referendum for all people in the city to decide. The fact: No one will argue the right of citizens to have an opportunity to vote on any matter which requires such action. It has been traditional in America, however, to delegate certain responsibilities requiring techni. cal skill and, professional knowledge to employed or elected represents= tives of the citizens. A very difficult and expensive program is required to- inform all the people in a community regarding a highly scientific subject sufficiently to enable every person to vote intelligently. If, therefore, a city council is unwilling to assume the responsibility of making a decision on a technical subject and submits the issue to a referendum, a heavy respon- sibility involving a considerable amount of time and money is placed on civic and professional groups to provide for an adequate .public information program through which all citizens will be scientifically and accurately informed. The assertion: 14. Fluoridation is still in the experimental stage. The fact: Fluoridation : of public water' . supplies cannot be considered : "experi- mental". in the usual sense of the word that the procedure has not .been adequately studied. Various factors relating to fluoridation have been under study for at least 25 years.51 The most crucial investigations of the physiologic. effects of fluorides have been made in areas where the water contains three to eight times as much fluoride as is being added in Grand Rapids, Mich., Newburgh, N. Y., and Brantford, Ont., in all three of which "experimental" pro- grams of fluoridation have now completed ten years. Several hundred thousand individuals, including people of all ages and of varying states of health, are included in the study groups from these areas.54 Studies of the controlled addition of fluorides to water supplies,- begun in 1945 are demonstrating an identical` pattern of protection against dental caries for children born and reared in these communities as is observed in areas where - fluorides occur incidentally in the water supply. Continued observations will establish -the ultimate "degree of effectiveness in older age groups in the controlled studies who used fluoridated water during childhood. As with all public health measures, fluoridation is subject to continued study, and research possibilities will never be.exhabsted. As time goes on, finer details will become `known- that may even more greatly en- hance the value of fluoridation, but studies and experience have passed the stage where there is any reasonable doubt as to its safety ,or effec- tiveness. The. assertion: 15. Fluoridation benefits ehildren only. The fact: It is true that in the beginning'.of a fluoridation program, the greatest benefits will accrue to theyounger children; -however, as these children become adults, they will continue to benefit and eventually the entire continuous- resident 'population of the community will be� enjoying the full henefts from fluoridation. Studies conducted among adults in fluoride areas show that the dental benefits continue throughout life.28 7 The assertion: 16. Artificial fluoridation may not produce the some results as do natural fluorides. The fact: Actually, there is no such thing as "artificial fluoridation." Fluorides are always added to water, generally being picked up by the water running through underground passages and crevices where the ground contains various fluoride compounds. In this process, man has no con- trol over the concentration. Studies show that the same results occur whether the fluoride is added in controlled amounts by man or added accidentally by nature, except that dental benefits are assured and no tooth staining occurs when the fluoride is added in controlled amounts. The assertion: 17. One could just as well add fluoride to table salt, milk, bread or some other foodstuff. The fact: Fluoride is a natural constituent of many water supplies. The discovery that fluoride ingested in proper amounts reduced tooth decay was the result of work in towns where the supplies contained fluorides naturally. Water, therefore, is a natural medium for caries control. It is impractical to add fluoride to table salt because it is not uniformly consumed and because the use of salt with a common fluoride content would be hazardous in view of the widely varying natural fluoride con- tent of water supplies. The consumption of food items, such as milk and bread, varies considerably among individuals; however, the intake of water, though it may be irregular, is less variable than any other single item in human nutrition. There are also practical difficulties that would hamper the "fluorida- tion" of such items as milk, bread and salt. For example, control test- ing would be difficult and responsibility for the procedure would be divided .29, 30, 43 Fluoridation of the public water supply is especially practical and safe because it is constantly subject to control by competent health authori- ties and does not require action on the part of individual citizens.si The assertion: 18. Costs are going up all the time, and the city cannot afford to add another item to its budget. The fact: This statement might more correctly be put, "The citizens can hardly afford the luxury of going without fluoridated water." Experience in more than 1,100 (January 1956) communities in the United States has demonstrated that fluoridation is an inexpensive procedure. The cost varies in different cities but averages less than 9¢ per year per person, often less than the cost of a candy bar. Fluoridation will reduce future dental bills for fillings, extractions and replacements. The cost of an average filling will pay for fluoride for one person for about 30 years.29, 27, V The assertion: 19. It is wasteful to fluoridate all the water when only a small amount of it is used for drinking purposes. The fact: Treated water, treatment including chlorination, softening and other processes, is used also for watering lawns, washing cars and for most industrial purposes, yet it has been found much more practical to treat the entire water supply than to have separate water systems. The same is true of water fluoridation, particularly in view of the fact that the annual cost per person will average about 94, and this amount covers fluoridation of all the water, not just that used for drinking purposes. The assertion: 20. Fluoridation has not been "recommended" by the American Water Works Association. The fact: The water works engineer is not in a technical position to recommend fluoridation. Such recommendations are the prerogative of the dental, medical and public health groups. The American Water Works`.Associa- tion has stated, however, that the water works industry is willing and ready to follow through when the proper authorities recommend or approve the treatment.ao The assertion: 21. Fluoridation is a restriction of religious freedom. The fact: Some people assert that the free exercise of religion is interfered with by the fluoridation of community water supplies. This contention is based on the supposition that the addition of fluoride to water converts the water into a medication. Even if fluoridation could be considered medication, precedents in the interpretation of the freedom of religion clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of 'the United States demonstrate that the right of a special group to engage in the practice of its religion must not unreasonably interfere with the right of a community as a whole to enjoy what it determines is beneficial for its well- being. The National Institute of Municipal Law Officers has expressed the opinion that fluoridation does not violate constitutional rights of free. dom of religion.42 This opinion has been upheld in recent legislation directly concerned with fluoridation. The constitutionality of the fluori- dation program has been upheld in.several legal actions, among others: De Aryan vs. City of San Diego, 280 P.2, 98 and Kraus vs. City of Cleveland. The assertion: 22. The fluoridation experiment does not adhere_ to the 10 standards set. up by the. Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal for experimentation on the lives of human beings. The fact: 21. About this erroneous idea Dr. Leo Alexander, Boston physician and a medical adviser to . the Nuremberg Tribunal commission, wrote as follows: "In my opinion the dragging of our well thought out prin- ciples on human experimentation into the problem of fluoridation of water is a scurrilous bit of sophistry based on the distortion of the main fact, namely, that such a public health measure could possibly be con- strued to be human experimentation in the sense of those experiments to which our principles are to be applied. "It seems to me that the basic part of the work on fluoridation that could be construed as experimentation, had actually been done long ago by nature itself. From the literature submitted, it appears that a great many competent investigators have proven the fact that fluorine con- centration of drinking water between 1.2 -3 ppm, occurring naturally in many localities, is perfectly innocuous. Since then, the proposed fluor- idation of water can no longer be regarded as an experiment in the sense of our ten rules." 43 The assertion: 23. The fluoridation of public water supplies 'constitutes 'mass medi- cation. The fact: The generally accepted definition of medication 'as used by dentists and physicians refers to the administration -of remedies "_ to; .treat or cure a given condition. 23 Fluoridation does not constitute -a remedy; it does not treat an existing disease. Fluoridation ' supplies .a normal constitu 10 ent found in . human teeth and makes .fluorine available in the proper amounts .through a natural source for the development of decay- resist- ant teeth. Fluoride, like calcium and phosphorus, is a natural constituent of teeth and bones and must be supplied to the body through food or drink in order to produce normal ,calcified structures. Fluorides in the public water supply are no more a medication than are other substances normally found in water or than the various constituents. of food nec- essary for the in of health. Adding sodium fluoride to the water supply, is no more a medication than adding table salt or other materials to food to make it palatable and healthful, or adding chlorine to the public water supply for the prevention of intestinal diseases. The addition of certain chemicals to white flour to enrich it is now required by law in some 27 states as a nutritional measure —; The assertion: 24. Fluoridation constitutes socialized medicine. The fact: As is pointed out in the preceding section, fluoridation is not medica. tion or a form of "medicine.'.' Fluoridation is no more "socialized" than is chlorination or other measures employed by the community for the prevention of disease. In fact, fluoridation represents one of the most realistic arguments against "socialized medicine" inasmuch as it is a preventive measure and is a project which communities determine and provide for themselves. The assertion: 25.. Fluoridation. is compulsory medication in that everyone is compelled to drink the fluoridated water. The. fact: . Again, referring to preceding sections of this report, fluoridation is not medication. Fluoridation does not mean compulsion on the part of in- dividuals any more than does the use of other community resources,-in- cluded chlorinated water. People form. communities so that they can share such common public services as schools, fire departments, water supplies and libraries. If a separate group in the community 'wants a school that is different from that chosen by the majority, then it es- tablishes its own. The same principle applies equally to the water and milk supplies. If a community wants its water fluoridated and its milk pasteurized, then fluoride -free water and unpasteurized milk can be obtained outside the community. It _may be pointed out in addition that it would be a travestry of the 11 democratic process of free choice if a minority of misguided but militant partisans were to be permitted to prevent the majority of the population from choosing to obtain relief from dental disease by the simplest, cheap- est and most effective method available. The assertion: 26. An accident in the water plant might cause over - dosage and severe harmful effects. The fact: Acute morbidity manifested by increased salivation and vomiting may be caused by ingesting 0.25 g. sodium fluoride. This quantity in an 8 -oz. glass of water represents 1,000 ppm sodium fluoride, or about 450 ppm fluorine. To obtain this concentration, it would require more than four tons of sodium fluoride per million gals. of water processed which is obviously not possible in a program of water fluoridation, even if gross negligence occurred. 29 The assertion: 27. Through just one twist of a valve, an enemy could flood the city with poisonous fluorides and kill off the whole population. The fact: This statement has appeared in several newspapers. See answer to pre- vious statement. It seems hardly likely that saboteurs would attempt to rely on tons of sodium fluoride when one ounce of botulinus toxin in a reservoir of water would have much greater eflect. The assertion: 28. There may be individual variations in the amount of water con- sumed daily and in the reaction of different individuals to fluorides. The fact: Individual variations are no greater in areas where the water contains controlled amounts of fluorine than where there is naturally 1 ppm fluorine in the water supply. Variations in total amount of water con- sumed are not as great as sometimes presumed. In such communities there is no mottled enamel visible to a lay person, and it has been de- monstrated that there are no harmful eflects; yet these communities, too, have people who vary in their water intake and in their physiological reaction to all substances. 18 The optimum level has been established after extensive experience with its effect on humans. 12 The assertion: 29. Fluorides block rather than aid calcification when magnesium is low in the water supply. The fact: . According to Dr. A. E. Sobel, there is no justification for concern about a detrimental effect of lack of magnesium on the caries- preventive effect of fluoridation. This opinion is in agreement with a statement made by a U. S. Public Health Service researcher. Dr. Sobel's test tube findings have not been duplicated in animal or human experience and provide no evidence that magnesium has any influence on the beneficial effect of fluorides.32 The assertion: 30. Fluoridation will present many difficult engineering problems. The fact: Water works operators have found through experience in more than 1,100 communities (January 1956) that the addition of fluorides to a municipal water supply is practical from an engineering standpoint. The mechanics of fluoridation are no more involved than those of water purification; moreover, the machinery and equipment commonly used in water plants are easily adapted. 111, 26 The community's desire for fluoridation may be used as a lever to. get other needed improvements made in the water plant, but the installation of a fluoridation program should not be made dependent on incidental improvements not required for effective fluoridation. The assertion: 31. Adding fluorides to water may present.a hazard to workers in the water plants. The fact: Considerable attention has been given to the possible hazard to plant operators handling fluoride compounds and inhaling fluoride dust. To counteract this potential danger, proper precautions are taken by pro- viding operators with masks and gloves to use when filling the fluoride feeders and by providing exhaust systems in the larger plants. Water plant . operators state that no serious operating problems are encoun- tered in _the plant and that under proper precautions, fluoridation ap- pears to: be no more hazardous to the operating personnel than is chlorination. 16, 24 The superintendent of the water department at Evanston, Ill., states, "Application of sodium fluoride at Evanston has caused less maintenance and operating difficulty than any other water works chemical." se 13 The assertion: 32. The city water works company will be held liable for suit if some- one claims he is harmed by fluoridation. The fact: The opinion of the Attorney General of Michigan (1944) on this sub- ject seems to be typical of the judicial opinion in most states regarding the liability of the owner of a public water supply: "A water supply corporation is ... bound to use reasonable care and diligence in pro- ducing pure and wholesome water that is at all times free from any in- fection or contamination which renders the water unsafe and dangerous to individuals, or unsuitable for domestic purposes, and is liable for injury resulting from its failure to do so." 25 "The same rule is generally held applicable to municipal corporations. Before liability could be established, it would be necessary that the plaintiff show negligence on the part of the utility or municipality furnishing the water and show that his injuries resulted from such negligence." so The assertion: 33. Fluoridation will adversely affect the manufacture of ice.' The fact: The only problem reported in industry to date was at Charlotte, N. C., where cracking of artificial ice was attributed to fluoridation. The local water supply is soft and has a low alkalinity. By using methods avail- able to the ice industry, the problem was entirely eliminated. Artificial ice plants in other cities have not experienced similar difficulties. so The assertion: 34. Many of the groups who endorse fluoridation merely are parroting each other's opinions. They have done no original research work themselves. The fact: This statement is entirely misleading since many of the members of the organizations noted have participated directly in experimental studies, population surveys and other investigations which have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of fluoridation. Consequently, the conclu- sions of these agencies reflect the expert knowledge of their individual members who have taken part in the original work relating to.this pro- cedure. The official actions of the American Dental Association and the Amer- ican Medical Association, with respect to- the safety and effectiveness 14 of fluoridation, were taken only after critical evaluation of research data. The evaluation was made by councils composed of many of the nation's outstanding medical and dental scientists. 40 The assertion: 35. No one is sure that fluorine is the element responsible for lower dental decay rates or that "inorganic or nonionic" fluorides, when added, will have the same effect as those that occur "naturally" in the water supply. The fact: Studies have been made of the relationship between dental caries rates and various properties of public water supplies, including hardness and various chemical constituents; yet animal studies, controlled fluor- idation studies and studies in areas where fluorides occur incidentally in water demonstrate that fluorine is the one element consistently assoc- iated with the observed dental caries reductions. The analytical method which has been employed to measure the fluor- ine concentration in water is one which measures the concentration of available fluoride ion. The physiological effects of "natural" fluoride - bearing water are related to a fluoride ion, and it is also a fluoride ion which will be present in the water as a result of the addition of the compounds employed for controlled fluoridation. Whether there also is fluorine in nonionic form or organic combination has no logical bearing on the consideration of the fluoridation procedures.40, si The assertion: 36. The Federal Food and Drug Administration might take action against processors of foods prepared with fluoridated water. The fact: This implication is not correct, as shown by the following statement issued in the Federal Register of July 23, 1952: "The Federal Security Agency will regard water supplies containing fluorine, within the limitations recommended by the Public Health Serv- ice, as not actionable under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Similarly, commercially prepared foods within the jurisdiction of the Act, in which a fluoridated water supply has been used in the processing operation, will not be regarded as actionable under the Federal law be- cause of the fluorine content of the water so used, unless the process involves a significant concentration of fluorine from the water. In the latter instance the facts with respect to the particular case will be con- trolling." Such foods as corn syrup might contain several parts per million fluor - 15 ine as a result of a process involving water with a concentration of 1 ppm fluorine; yet, this fact should cause no concern. Other common foods contain as high as 60 ppm fluorine naturally. However, such items are not. expected to increase a person's overall consumption of fluorides because they are eaten in relatively small quantities as compared with the quantities of water consumed daily- The assertion: 37. The vital statistics of Grand Rapids, Mich. show an increased num- ber of deaths from heart disease, intracranial lesions and nephri- tis since the program of fluoridation was initiated. The fact:- - This statement presents an, erroneous implication because it is based on a comparison of 1944 data for, the city. of Grand Rapids. with 1948 data for the whole of Kent County in which Grand Rapids is situated. Reliable population data for this area are available from official agen- cies in Grand Rapids and in the state of Michigan and are based on an intimate knowledge of shifts of population in and out of the city. Actually, changes in . the death , rates in Grand Rapids have not been significantly different from: those for the, country; as a -whole.. A claimed increase in the number of deaths from heart disease, in 1949, is not a fact but.is due to a.1949 revision _ in the method of recording deaths. 41 The assertion: 38. The ,American Medical Association did not give an unqualified endorsement of fluoridation of drinking water. The fact: A resolution of the House of Delegates of the American Medical Associa- tion at its meeting in Dec. 1951 endorsed the fluoridation of water sup- plies. The A.M.A. secretary stated that the House of Delegates did not "urge" adoption of the dental measure and• explained that "it was the opinion of the Council (on Pharmacy and Chemistry) that this question (of recommendation for or against) should be answered by the dental profession." The A.M.A. statement of policy concludes that "Fluorida- tion of water supplies in a concentration not exceeding one part per million is nontoxic and its principle is endorsed." a7, z The American Medical Association also approved a statement of the Inter - Association Committee on Health, of which it is a member, which reads: "Resolved, that the Inter - Association Committee on Health urges the fluoridation of the fluoride - deficient public water supplies of this country as rapidly as plans can be approved by the local medical, dental and health department officials and the state departments of health." a1 In 1955, four years after the original A.M.A. endorsement of fluorida- 16 tion, the A.M.A. secretary said in an editorial in Today's Health Maga- zine: "... the unscrupulous opponents of fluoridation have spread the impression that the American Medical Association did not endorse this public health measure (fluoridation). The fact is that it did, and that it stands by its endorsement. It is true that the endorsement did not urge any action whatsoever upon responsible officials because -that is not the function of the Association. Both the A.M.A. Council on Phar- macy and Chemistry and the A.M.A. Council on Foods and Nutrition expressed themselves definitely to the effect that fluoridation is safe. If this is not an endorsement —what is it ?" 55 The assertion: 39. A congressional committee, headed by Rep. Delaney, has recom- mended a delay in the adoption of fluoridation because research on the procedure is not yet completed.311 The fact: An analysis of this report, published in the September 1952 Journal of the American Dental Association 40 pointed out . that the report "suf- fers-from a lack of adherence to the' proper standards of investigative procedure as evidenced especially by its failure to substantiate many statements which it accepted as fact. The Committee also accepted mis- givings of a few individuals who appeared as witnesses, in spite of the weight of evidence furnished by such organizations as the American Dental Association, the American Medical Association, the U. S. Public Health Service, the National Research Council, the American Public Health Association and: the Association of State and Territorial Health Officers." An editorial in the Journal pointed out that "The value of a scientific discovery ... cannot be determined by a show of hands among mem- bers of a congressional committee." The report does not reflect the attitude of the Congress but is an expression of opinion of the seven men who were members of the Committee. Congress has acted, how- ever, in providing for the fluoridation of the public water supplies in the District of Columbia. The failure of the Committee to utilize evaluating procedures that would be acceptable to a scientific group is largely responsible for serious defects in its report, with the result that little credibility can be attached to the observations or recommendations contained in it. The assertion: 40. Fluoridation may interfere with food processing which involves. yeast fermentation. 17 The fad: In the early years of controlled fluoridation there was some hesitancy on the part of food and beverage processors about possible bad effects on their. products from changes in the water supply. The weight of evidence now available from the experience of these industries in areas where the .water contains fluorides, either as an incidental occurrence or in controlled amounts, shows that there is no harmful effect from fluorides present in the water supplies in concentrations recommended for dental health. 41 The American Institute of Baking conducted a study in 1950 and re. ported, "The addition of fluoride ion in concentrations up to 10 parts per million in the sponge and dough. water has no effect upon bread quality. Bakers in communities that plan to incorporate fluorine in the city water supplies as part of a program to reduce the incidence of dental caries should anticipate no difficulties in using such water for bread production." 39 It is reported that Green Bay and Kaukauna, Wisconsin, have some of the largest cheese plants in the world. Green Bay's water supply con- tains 15 ppm fluorine and Kaukauna's water has 1.8 ppm fluorine. 44 It is also reported that Milwaukee breweries used deep well water con- taining as high as 1.8 ppm fluorine before the city began to use lake water. The following cities in Wisconsin .have brewing industries and use water containing fluorides either in controlled amounts of about 1 ppm or incidentally occurring at 2 and 3 ppm: Rhinelander, Beaver Dam, Sheboygan, Columbus, Madison, Oshkosh, Green Bay, De Pere and Allonez. 44 The assertion: 41. The mere contemplation of vital statistics is an insufficient evalua- tion of the safety of fluorides, and group statistics tend to obscure the effects on individuals. The fact: It should be pointed out that group data are collected by examining individuals. The data from all individuals examined are pooled not to make the data applicable only for the group, but to obtain a higher degree of reliability as these apply to the individuals in the group. The most crucial investigations of the physiological effects of fluorides have been made in areas where the water contains from three to eight times as much fluoride from natural sources as is recommended for dental health. Several hundred .thousand individuals, including people of all ages and of varying states of health, make up these study groups. 18 The studies are not confined to death rates, but are concer4ed with many aspects of health. The clinical examination .of. a few individuals will often fail to disclose effects that become apparent when the examinations are extended to a large group. Nevertheless, even in studies where population groups were subjected naturally to.: a much higher concentration of fluoride than would be used in a clinical test, there was.no evidence of harmful effect in any individual from the fluorides ingested. There is, it is true, dental fluorosis where water containing relatively high concentrations of fluor' ides is consumed, but it is emphatically not the case .where the water contains the recommended 1.0 -1.5 ppm fluorine.62, 53 , sa, is The assertion: 42. No one to date has given proof that fluorine is essential to nutri- tion. The fact: No one has demonstrated that fluorine is or is not essential to animal life, since no one has been able to obtain an adequate diet that is com- pletely devoid of fluorine. This point, however, has no real bearing on the question of fluoridation. Consumption of a suitable amount of fluor- ide throughout the period of tooth formation leads to the development of teeth that are more resistant to decay than they would otherwise be. The assertion: 43. Fluoridation will not do any permanent good because teeth saved from decay by fluoride will later be lost through increased perio- dontal disease caused by the fluorides. The fact: This assertion has been directly disproved in a study which showed that adults in a non - fluoride area lost' three to four times as many teeth as 'did persons' of the same age in a fluoride area. 28 The assertion: 44. .Fluoridation should not be undertaken because. we do not yet have final knowledge of the effects of fluorides on humans. The fact: In science there is no such thing as final. knowledge. New information is, continuously being brought forth even on such accepted .procedures as pasteurization. of milk, and chlorination of water. All evidence on fluoridation, however, as. on these other: procedures, attests the safety and effectiveness of the measure for the partial control of .dental caries. 19 The assertion: 45. Inorganic fluorides inhibit essential enzyme functions in humans. The fact: This statement is typical of the half - truths that are frequently employed by opponents of fluoridation. The critical consideration here is the fact that this statement does not specify in any way the amount or concentration of fluoride. In relatively high concentration fluorides may inhibit a number.of enzymatic processes as measured outside the body. However, there is no evidence that the ingestion of drinking water containing 1 ppm fluoride will lead to a concentration of fluoride in any tissue of the body which will adversely affect the enzyme systems of that tissue. The ability of the kidneys to excrete fluoride and of the bones to store fluoride without injury provides a means whereby the concentration of fluoride in the blood is maintained at an extremely low level. 48 There has, furthermore, been no demonstration that fluor- ide ions at a concentration of 1 ppm in water will adversely affect any enzyme used in a fermentation or other industrial process. 20 REFERENCES 1.

Fluorine is an element existing widely in food and water, varying in its concentration !in the latter from traces to excessive amount. The fluoridation of • communal, water supply entails only supplementing • deficient natural concentration. There is no way of proving by chemical test that the element, fluorine, exists in the same chemical combination in its natural concentration as results from its addition) in whatever salt of fluorine is chosen. From chemical (theory, how- ever, and from all observed facts of its behavior, the inference is plain that the soluble fluoride ions are equally effective at a given concentration, however introduced. 2. There is an inverse relationship (between the concentration of fluoride ion in the water supply, whether naturally occurring or the result of the sup- plement, and the incidence of dental caries. This has been proven by observation of inhabitants of many communities and is accepted widely by those who op- pose fluoridation for reasons other than its effective- ness. The proper amount to be added as supplement for a given community is arrived at in recognition of the experience of dental caries in the school children, the naturally occurring concentration of fluoride ion in the water and the climatic conditions peculiar to that locality which influence the intake of water. The benefit to be expected can best be stated by members of the dental profession and local public health of- ficials, and will be in proportion to the piefluoridation caries experience of that community. While fluorida- tion importantly reduces the incidence of caries, it does not completely eliminate it and does not diminish the need for adequate diet, mouth hygiene and dental inspection at proper intervals. While fluoridation be- gins to show its effects in a year or two in school children, the maximum benefit is seen in those per- sons using fluoridated water from birth. The increased resistance to caries extends at least into middle life, hence it is incorrect to assert that only children are benefited by such a program. 3. At the levels of intake supplied in fluoridation programs, there is practically no storage of fluorine except in the teeth. The ideal daily amount is about one milligram in temperate or predominately cool climates and would be obtained by drinking one quart of water containing 1 part per million of fluoride ion. Storage elsewhere in the body has not been demonstrated with daily intakes of as much as three or four times that amount. Storage in bone apparently occurs with daily intakes substantially I above 4 mg., though without demonstrable ill effect on persons who have lived all their lives with a (water supply containing 8 parts per million of fluoride. A wide margin of safety is thus provided, inasmuch as intakes of fluorine about fifty per cent above the ideal dose produce very mild evidences in the appearance of the teeth of such excess. These dental warnings are detectable only by expert examination and are in no way harmful to the teeth. There is no published rec- ord of any injury to the health of any I person drink- ing natural fluoridated water with a concentration as high as 8 parts per million, nor of harmful effects at such lesser concentrations as occur naturally or are provided in fluoridation programs. No injurious ef- fects can be found in the study of vital statistics of all the common major diseases, including cancer, or in the statistics of maternal and newborn death rates. Experimental studies on man (the most sensitive species) and lower animals confirm these evidences of the safety of a fluoridation program. Physicians practicing in areas which have had fluoridation pro- grams for three years or more report that their ex- perience in the treatment of the sick does not differ from their pre- fluoridation practice and that they do not forbid the use of fluoridated water in any case. 4. The public health and water engineering prac- tices are relatively simple. They include selection of the most desirable compound of fluorine to be used, provision for safety measures for handlers of such chemicals, installation of feeding equipment and reg- ular performance of chemical tests at various points in the distributing system in order to regulate the desired concentration. Annual cost in most commu- nities has varied between nine and fourteen cents per capita. 5. An impressive roster of persons and organizations of recognized scientific standing has endorsed the ef- ficacy and safety of fluoridation. Over 3,000,000 per- sons live in areas whose natural water supplies con- tain from 0:9 to 5 parts per million of fluorine. Tes- timony has been furnished from the physicians of twelve communities with a combined population of nearly 800,000 persons who had fluoridation programs for from three to seven years as of January 1, 1953. As of August 1, 1953, 772 communities in 43 states, including 10 major cities, have fluoridation programs serving a total population of 14,000,000 persons. In the United States, such widespread adoption of any program of preventive medicine, determined upon at the local level has profound significance as to the solid merit of the proposal. 6. Testimony in opposition to fluoridation has been expressed by a numerically tiny minority of persons of undoubted scientific training and experience in relevant fields. Close examination of their testimony reveals that they do not usually question the effective- ness of the procedure but have reservations as to possible toxic effects. They do not lay down criteria by which they would judge a fluoridation program to be any safer than it has already been shown to be. In requiring an indefinite prolongation of presently established programs before extension to other areas they tend to disregard what has already been learned. There is also an active, proselyting opposition that does not represent an objective, scientific point of view at all. It seeks to defeat proposals for fluoridation by the circulation of pamphlets containing obsolete or discredited or irrelevant charges ranging from "Operation Rat Poison" to "communistic plot" themes, with a measure of food faddism for good measure. There is no authoritative expression of opposition from any religious sect nor from the representatives of any school of healing the sick which is recognized by law in Missouri. WATER FLUORIDATION 7. There are no practicable alternatives to fluorida- tion of water in a city such as St. Louis. The provi- sion of fluorine intake through tablets, milk, salt or other means has profound disadvantages peculiar to each one. Topical fluoride application directly to the teeth by skilled personnel cannot be applied univer- sally as a public health measure for the prevention of dental caries, insofar as it is effective, due to lack of personnel and funds. While somewhat less effective than fluoridation of the water supply, it has merit as an alternative public health measure in small com- munities without such a common source of water. 8. The use of water containing the recommended concentration of fluorine has been shown to be with- out hazard in the industrial use of water. There is testimony to this effect by research chemists of the associations of brewers, bakers and bottlers as well as by use of naturally fluoridated waters in earlier times without dissatisfaction. Such fears as have oc- casionally been expressed have not been documented and appear to be contrary to observed fact. There has been no recorded, open opposition to this measure of preventive medicine from any industry, nor is any to be anticipated in the future. 9. The power of a municipality, acting through its elected representatives, to initiate fluoridation of its water supply by legislative action has been upheld wherever challenged in court. Such a procedure is held to be proper exercise of police power of a com- munity to conserve or improve the health of its res= idents. A fluoridation program does not treat caries already present. It is effective in increasing the resist- ance of the developing tooth to the occurrence of caries. "Preventive Medicine" is an obviously more accurate description of its purpose and effect than is "Mass Medication," usually introduced acrimo- niously. 10. No other public health measure has had more thorough study prior to adoption than the proposal for fluoridation of the community water supply whose natural concentration of fluorine is deficient. The ideal concentration of fluoride ion to be delivered at the outlets should be decided by the responsible pub- lic officials after study of current information, partic- ularly of climatic effects, and after such consultation with other authorities as they deem necessary. Con- tinued studies and periodic reporting of the caries experience of selected groups of children, as done at present in St. Louis, together with careful scrutiny for incipient signs of dental effects of excessive flu- orine ingestion should be carried out as an essential feature of such a program. Recommendation The members of the Water Fluoridation Committee of the St. Louis Medical Society unanimously recom- mend that the elected officials of the City of St. Louis undertake without delay the necessary legislative and administrative steps to authorize and initiate a pro- gram to increase the content of fluorine of the munic- ipal water supply to an amount whose concentration will provide maximum reduction in the incidence of dental caries of the children of St. Louis commen- surate with freedom from objectionable cosmetic ef- fects or hazard to health of the residents as a whole. This recommendation is made in the conviction that such a step will constitute the most significant contribution to the public health of the community 2 since the enactment and implementation of the Smoke Abatement Ordinance. (Signed) HAROLD A. BULGER, M.D. RAYMOND O. MUETHER, M.D. WILLARD BARTLETT, M.D., Chairman August 24, 1953 Study The pathways by which the human body absorbs the fluoride ion in ideal dosage and rids itself of all but a small fraction are well understood. It is essential that one comprehend these mechanisms for with such knowledge as a foundation, the facts and fallacies in- volved in programs for the fluoridation of a water supply lose much of their mystery for the lay student. Definition of the "ideal" daily dose is the first step. In medical terms, it is the physiologic. dose. As with many other substances having valuable properties when administered in a properly prescribed daily amount, fluorine becomes a harmful, rather than a beneficial agent when given in excessive, or toxic, quantities. This is equally true of iodine, bromine and chlorine, the other members of the family of chemical substances known as the halogens. They are widely distributed in animal and plant life and most natural- ly occurring waters contain them in varying con- centrations. In physiologic concentration, for example, chlorine combines with sodium to form the largest portion of the salts in solution in the blood itself. In a different combination and concentration, it exists as the hydrochloric acid which is the principal chem- ical agent in digestion of food in the stomach; pit is administered by mouth throughout a life time to pa- tients whose own digestive juices are deficient. In still other concentrations and chemical combinations chlorine is used to prevent the growth of harmful germs in water supplies and, in murderous form, it is the principle component of war gas. Common table salt is the same chemical substance as the sodium chloride in solution in the blood and tissue juices, yet excessive intake of salt, or no intake of salt, pro- duces grave illnesses; the same statement is true of excessive or inadequate intake of water alone, yet water makes up about 70 per cent of the weight of the human body. In considering the effects upon the human body of a given element, therefore, one must define not only the chemical compound itself, but the concentration in which it is to be delivered, the total daily dose and the period of time over which it is to be administered. For the fluoride ion the ideal, or physiologic, dosage is approximately 1 milligram (mg.) per day which is achieved by the human utilization of drinking water and water used for cooking from a source containing an average concentration of 1 part of fluoride ion per million parts of water (1 ppm). This intake of fluoride is calculated as a proper addition to the small amount contained in various solid foods. The needs of the body for water are fixed by nature and, although habitual intakes of drinking water, or of substances dissolved in water, vary widely with the individual, the differences are not significant in alter- ing importantly the effects upon the human body of these small quantities of fluorine. Since few naturally occurring waters are completely free of fluorine, one should always think of a fluoridation program, not as addition of a substance foreign to the water, but as a WATER FLUORIDATION process of supplementing an inadequate concentration. In many communities in the Southwestern States pro- grams of defluoridation have been instituted in order to remove an undesirable excess of fluorine and to lower its concentration, not to zero, but to physiologic levels. It must be understood, moreover, that it makes no demonstrable difference to the human body whether the ideal concentration of fluoride in its water supply has been achieved naturally, by supplement or by defluoridation. Whatever chemical combination of fluorine, the element, is dissolved in water as flu- oride ion and is measurable by standard tests is capable of absorption by the body.'. 2. "' Fluorine - is properly considered to be one of the "trace" elements normally present in very small amounts in the human body. Its usefulness in in- creasing the resistance of the teeth to decay (dental caries) has only become obvious in recent years and will be elaborated subsequently. In physiologic dos- age, very small amounts of fluoride are stored in the enamel of the teeth of infants and children before hardening of the enamel is completed and particularly before the permanent teeth have erupted into the mouth. In physiologic dosage, storage of fluoride ion elsewhere in the body has not been demonstrated. The remainder is passed (excreted) from the body in the urine, sweat and feces' -'•' There is, as yet, no other known beneficial role which such small quantities of fluorine play in the human economy. The ideal, or physiologic, dosage of fluorine is therefore that amount, in the concentration and quantity already described, which will importantly reduce the incidence of dental caries and which will not produce undesir- able effects. In temperate climates the year -round ideal concentration in a water supply has previously been stated to be 1 ppm. The permissible upper limit has been set as 1.5 ppm,' for with even moderately higher concentrations of fluorine no considerable added protection against dental caries is seen" and an undesirable cosmetic phenomena fluorosis (notice- able brownish mottling of the enamel), begins to appear in a small percentage of people. No document- ed instance of damage to health has been recorded from the use of water containing the physiologic dos- age of fluorine, whether naturally occurring or sup- plemented, no matter over how long a period.'•'•' It has already been stated that variations in the total daily intake of properly fluoridated water do not produce "important" alterations in physiologic effects. This needs qualification, for seasonal concentrations should be related to the ideal, year -round concentra- tion of 0.9 to 1.5 ppm of fluoride ion for a temperate climate. Climate plays a part in determining the total fluid intake of the population. It is important to re- member that about 90 per cent of the weight of a solid, general diet lies in its water content and added liquid is drunk to make up the body's need for total daily water intake; water is made available by the body for the formation of urine only after all the other needs for water, including the formation of sweat, has been met. In warm, humid periods of the year the need for water is increased and it has there- fore been the logical practice in communities with a fluoridation program to reduce the amount of fluoride added to the water supply in order to produce a con- centration at the outlets of as little as 0.6 ppm under such climatic conditions, raising the latter to 1 ppm or slightly higher during cool weather' 10 Allusion has been made to the fact that with in- 3 creasing concentrations of fluoride ion cosmetically undesirable mottling of the enamel appears in increas- ing percentages of children who have been on such an intake from infancy. This is noticeable to the un- trained observer and persists throughout the lifetime of the individual; no harm to the structure of the tooth is involved. Such grossly noticeable mottling does not occur with ideal concentrations which are appropriately adjusted downward in spells of hot weather. Under these circumstances, less than 15 per cent of children at ages 12 to 14 years develop a very faint change in color of the enamel, localized on various surfaces of the teeth and detectable only to the trained observer using instruments and special illumination.' There is, therefore, no cosmetic hazard with physiologic conditions of fluoridation, natural or planned. The warning sign that the ideal daily intake is be- ing exceeded lies precisely in the appearance of dental fluorosis, mottling of the enamel, as concentrations of fluoride ion in the water supply are increased. The large margin of safety is apparent when one reviews the incontrovertible evidence that water containing 8 ppm has been the only source of sup- ply for the community of Bartlett, Texas, during several generations without detectable evidence of in- jury to health upon searching scrutiny of the popula- tion." Aside from mottling of the teeth, increased bone density in x -ray examination in 11 per cent of the persons examined was the only deleterious effect found; it was not associated with symptoms and con- stituted the only way except for dental effects in which these people were found to differ from the inhabitants of a neighboring community with in- adequate amounts of fluorine in the water supply. Completely reliable data" reveal that water naturally containing 1.0 to 1.5 ppm is used by more than one million people. Water containing 1.6 to 2 ppm is used by more than 900,000 persons. Water containing 2.1 to 3 ppm is used by more than 600,000 persons. Water containing 3.1 to 5 ppm is used by more than 100,000 persons. Water containing more than 5.1 ppm is used by 40,000 persons. A total of 3,000,000 persons in the United States, then, have for many years been using water naturally containing fluoride ion in concentra- tions, variously, between 0.9 and 5 ppm and in none of them has an authentic case of injury to health at- tributable to the fluorine concentration been reported in the vast medical literature. The reasons why none is to be anticipated, even at these concentrations of as much as five times the ideal daily dosage, will be elaborated. Before proceeding to comment on the published studies that have - demonstrated the absence of a haz- ard to health in the use of water containing fluorine in concentrations even higher than the ideal, let us recapitulate briefly the observed facts presented hither- to for consideration: 1. The discussion of the effects upon health of any waterborn element must define a) the chemical com- bination in which it is to be employed, b) the total daily dosage, c) the concentration to which it will be diluted upon delivery at the tap, and d) the period, over which it is to be consumed. 2. The ideal, or physiologic, daily dose of any sub- stance is that amount which will produce the desired beneficial effect in a reasonable percentage of in- stances without doing harm. 3. The physiologic dose of the fluoride ion, judged WATER FLUORIDATION from the point of view of its dental effects, is ap- proximately 1 milligram daily. This is attained in temperate climates by drinking water which has naturally a concentration of about 1 part per million of fluoride or to which fluorine has been added to approximate that concentration in communities where the water supply contains less than the ideal amount. 4. In physiologic dosage, fluorine is not stored in the body except for that very small amount that enters into the process of hardening the enamel of the developing teeth. The remainder is lost to the body, principally in the urine. 5. No evidence of injury to the well -being of any person, sick or well, infant or aged, has been related to fluorine present in water in physiologic concentra- tion. 6. The teeth of persons receiving water containing physiologic concentrations of fluoride, properly ad- justed to local climatic conditions, do not show dis- coloration. 7. At concentrations of fluoride rising above 1.5 ppm visible mottling of the teeth is observed with increasing frequency. This is .undesirable from the cosmetic viewpoint. 8. The appearance of mottling detectable only by a trained observer in more than 10 per cent of chil- dren is an indictation that physiologic doses are being exceeded. 9. The margin of safety with concentrations of flu- oride higher than ideal is so wide, that no sign of ill effects has been detectable by close scrutiny even of the members of one community using a water sup- ply containing 8 ppm for several generations. Over 3 million persons in the United States live in com- munities where the natural concentration of fluoride in the respective water supplies is, variously, from 0.9 to 5 ppm. There is no medical record to show that, aside from relative freedom from dental caries, their health differs from that of persons dependent upon water containing less than ideal amounts of fluorine. 10. No distinction is to be made between the effects on the human body of fluoride ion naturally occur- ring in a water supply and the same concentration of fluoride attained by either supplementation or deflu- oridation. It is not surprising that relatively few organized investigations of the health of persons living in com- munities whose water supplies have a . physiologic concentration of fluorine, either naturally or by sup- plement, have appeared in the medical literature. Such inquiries into the possibly toxic effects of any substance in the natural water supply employed by a population are prompted either by 1) reports of damage to health in individual cases or 2) the pub- lication of reports of laboratory studies on animals and human volunteers indicating that the behavior of the substance in the body under applicable conditions is such as to make it likely that evidence of injury to health in specific ways may appear and should be sought. In the total absence of such clinical or lab- oratory reports of health hazards with respect to ideally fluoridated water, few community health de- partments have found themselves so plentifully sup- plied with the taxpayer's money that they could divert funds and personnel to looking for trouble where none was to be anticipated. Such an effort is a luxury, comparatively, in view of the urgent needs and limited sums with which all departments of health and sanitation are chronically faced. The con- 4 scientious and highly trained members of federal, state and local public health professional associations study critically the investigations in their field and do not lightly or carelessly endorse proposals for preventive measures whose conceivable harm might outweigh the benefits. As will be brought out, there is a still larger body of published evidence as to the safety of drinking water containing higher than physiologic concentrations of fluoride and this has been the logical field for the most intensive study of the problem. Let us examine, then, the reports which bear on the safety to the consumer of drinking water containing fluoride ion in concentrations of up to ap- proximately 5 parts per million. The city of Newburgh, N. Y., was one of the first communities in this country to add fluorine (as sodium fluoride) to its natural water supply (1945) bringing up the concentration from 0.1 ppm to 1 ppm. Systematic continuing examinations of school children have been reported in respect to general physical examination, analyses of blood and urine, x -rays of the bones of the hands, forearms and legs and special eye and ear examinations in selected samples; detailed dental records have also been kept for comparison with the pre - fluoridation data obtained in Newburgh and in neighboring Kingston, N. Y., which had a similarly meager concentration of fluorine and from which fluorine supplement has been withheld for the sake of comparison. These studies have 'been carried out in conjunction with the New York State Depart- ment of Public Health. As reported in 1950" and again in 1952, we read: "Careful examinations carried on since the study started reveal absolutely no harm- ful effects from drinking fluoridated water. "" Herman E. Hilliboe, M.D., Commissioner, New York State De- partment of Health, adds "These results bear out stud- ies made in other areas of the country, where persons have been drinking naturally fluoridated water all of their lives with utmost safety. "" No differences (other than dental) in the physical condition of the children of Newburgh and Kingston have been found; the dental benefits will be reviewed separately. The Evanston (Illinois) Dental Caries Study Group has also carried on regular examination of the school children since that community began to supplement (to 1 ppm) the negligible quantities of fluorine in its water supply in 1947. In a letter "' dated March 9, 1953, Winston H. Tucker, M.D., Commissioner of Health of Evanston, writes: "No detrimental effects of any sort have been found in the children on careful examina- tion. I am not aware of any evidence published in medical literature showing that there is an increase of any disease which could be attributed to fluorine in a concentration of one part per million in a pub- lic drinking water supply." Studies on a somewhat older age group have been made by McClure (then Senior Biochemist, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md.). He has reported" observations of height and weight and the incidence of bone fractures in 1458 high school boys residing in communities whose water supplies varied from zero to 1.0 ppm fluorine content. There is no correlation of the fluorine content of the water with growth and development or with the experiences of fractures of bones, as is evident in Tables I and II. The examination of vital statistics for any com- munity is a standard method of finding clues as to the possible relationship between a given disease and a suspected agent, causative, contributory or com- WATER FLUORIDATION plicating. From a series of published data,", 19, 19, Y°. n Table III has been prepared. It demonstrates beyond dispute the lack of any regular pattern of relationship between death rates from all cancers and the fluoride content of the water (varying from zero to 4.5 ppm) in several communities. In Table IV is evident the same lack of correlation between the periods of surviv- al of sufferers from several types of cancer and the flu- oride content of the water in San Francisco, which had little or no fluorine, and in Denver, which has 1.2 ppm.l:, 19 Tables V and VI' reveal the relationship of deaths of pregnant women and of babies before and after birth to the fluorine content of the water in several TABLE I Comparison of the height and weight of 1458 high school boys, ages 15 to 17 years residing in cities with different concentrations of fluoride in public water supplies.

The well recognized stresses of pregnancy and the sensitiveness of the developing fetus to changes in its environment could be expected to re- flect toxicity if any such existed in the water supply. Yet there is no important or consistent difference in the frequency of deaths at term (still birth), im- mediately after delivery (neonatal), during the first year of life (infant) nor in the mothers themselves in the cities whose water supplies contain from 0.03 ppm to 2.5 ppm of fluorine. Nor is there any signif- icant alteration of these patterns in the city of She- boygan during the 5 year period following the raising of its fluoride concentration from 0.03 ppm to 1.2 ppm. Fears are often expressed that even physiologic concentrations of water -born fluorine may have an adverse effect upon suffers from certain organic dis- eases. In Tables VII and VIII appear the vital statistics from these same Wisconsin communities over the same successive 5 year periods, 1940 -44 and 1945- 1949. The frequency of the following disorders are reported: health diseases, cancer, cerebral hemorrhage (stroke), nephritis (degenerative diseases of the kid- WATER FLUORIDATION neys), pneumonia, diabetes, tuberculosis, influenza and appendicitis., The utter lack of correlation between the numbers of deaths from any of these diseases and the naturally- occurring fluorine content of the respec- tive municipal water supplies is obvious, including the comparison of pre- and post- fluoridation data in She- boygan. The Commissioner of Public Health of She- boygan, G. C.

There is nothing in our statistics in the last ten years to indicate that fluoridation has had any adverse effects on the health of the people of this community. "' The addition of sodium fluoride to the water sup- ply of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was initiated on January 25, 1945. Only a trace (0.1 ppm) of naturally occurring fluorine was previously present in the water obtained from Lake Michigan and the concentration is now supplemented to 1.0 ppm. Table IX has been pre- 6 pared from vital statistics of 1941 -1950 furnished' by W.. B. Prothro, M.D., Public Health Director of Grand Rapids, and sets forth the infant death rate and the death rates due to heart disease, nephritis and intracranial lesions (including brain tumors, strokes and other disorders arising within the skull.) In comment, Dr.' Prothro writes: "We have not observed any significant change in the vital statistics of Grand Rapids since the inception of our fluorida- tion program." Dr. C. V. Tossy, Associate Chief of the Public Health Dentistry Section, Michigan De- partment of Health, remarks: "Vital statistics . in Grand Rapids have been studied in comparison with the rest . of the state, and there are no differences that could be attributed to fluoridation of the water. There have been no adverse effects of any kind noted .1123 The City of Janesville, Wisconsin, whose water sup- ply was naturally free of fluorine, started the addition of sodium fluoride in the proportion of 1 ppm on July 26, 1948. Fred B. Welch, M.D., the City Health Com- missioner, writes: "An evaluation of our vital statistics show no adverse effects have been noted with regard to chronic diseases of the kidneys, circulatory system or cancer and diabetes mellitus. "'e Additional information of value has been received in response to inquiry directed to the president of the local medical society' and to the community health officer 2' respectively, of each of fifteen cities of more than 10,000 population which has had a water fluoridation program in effect more than three years (initiated before January 1, 1950). The substance of the questions to the practicing physicians is 1) "Do you notice any change in the course of certain dis- eases since fluoridation was started ?" and 2) "Do any of your local physicians forbid the use of the fluoridated water in treating such patients ?" The dis- eases specified were cancer, diabetes and inflammatory or degenerative diseases of the circulatory system and of the kidneys. The second question was repeated in the query to the district health officers, along with a request for current information on vital statistics and dental results. We failed to receive answers to these two questions from three of the communities. The replies from twelve, " ''• ', 2','D four of which have been quoted verbatim, are unequivocally in the nega- tive. There is no dissatisfaction or concern reported among the physicians in the communities in which fluoride supplement up to physiologic concentration has now been added for from three to eight years. No physician in these communities is reported to for- bid the use of water from the municipal supply and substitute water from another source. This is not of- fered as scientific evidence but as proof of the at- titude of the physicians who treat the sick of these twelve cities whose total population exceeds 785,000 persons, according to the U. S. Census of 1950. Returning to consideration of areas in which the natural concentration of fluorine in water equals or exceeds the ideal figure of approximately 1 ppm, it has already been stated that more than three million persons have used such concentrations (up to 5 ppm) all their lives without reported ill effects on health." It is probable that analyses in other areas will make this number larger, as a recent report" from Iowa indicates that a considerable percentage of people in that state are using water containing physiologic, or higher, concentrations of fluorine.

There is nothing in our statistics in the last ten years to indicate that fluoridation has had any adverse effects on the health of the people of this community. "' The addition of sodium fluoride to the water sup- ply of Grand Rapids, Michigan, was initiated on January 25, 1945. Only a trace (0.1 ppm) of naturally occurring fluorine was previously present in the water obtained from Lake Michigan and the concentration is now supplemented to 1.0 ppm. Table IX has been pre- 6 pared from vital statistics of 1941 -1950 furnished' by W.. B. Prothro, M.D., Public Health Director of Grand Rapids, and sets forth the infant death rate and the death rates due to heart disease, nephritis and intracranial lesions (including brain tumors, strokes and other disorders arising within the skull.) In comment, Dr.' Prothro writes: "We have not observed any significant change in the vital statistics of Grand Rapids since the inception of our fluorida- tion program." Dr. C. V. Tossy, Associate Chief of the Public Health Dentistry Section, Michigan De- partment of Health, remarks: "Vital statistics . in Grand Rapids have been studied in comparison with the rest . of the state, and there are no differences that could be attributed to fluoridation of the water. There have been no adverse effects of any kind noted .1123 The City of Janesville, Wisconsin, whose water sup- ply was naturally free of fluorine, started the addition of sodium fluoride in the proportion of 1 ppm on July 26, 1948. Fred B. Welch, M.D., the City Health Com- missioner, writes: "An evaluation of our vital statistics show no adverse effects have been noted with regard to chronic diseases of the kidneys, circulatory system or cancer and diabetes mellitus. "'e Additional information of value has been received in response to inquiry directed to the president of the local medical society' and to the community health officer 2' respectively, of each of fifteen cities of more than 10,000 population which has had a water fluoridation program in effect more than three years (initiated before January 1, 1950). The substance of the questions to the practicing physicians is 1) "Do you notice any change in the course of certain dis- eases since fluoridation was started ?" and 2) "Do any of your local physicians forbid the use of the fluoridated water in treating such patients ?" The dis- eases specified were cancer, diabetes and inflammatory or degenerative diseases of the circulatory system and of the kidneys. The second question was repeated in the query to the district health officers, along with a request for current information on vital statistics and dental results. We failed to receive answers to these two questions from three of the communities. The replies from twelve, " ''• ', 2','D four of which have been quoted verbatim, are unequivocally in the nega- tive. There is no dissatisfaction or concern reported among the physicians in the communities in which fluoride supplement up to physiologic concentration has now been added for from three to eight years. No physician in these communities is reported to for- bid the use of water from the municipal supply and substitute water from another source. This is not of- fered as scientific evidence but as proof of the at- titude of the physicians who treat the sick of these twelve cities whose total population exceeds 785,000 persons, according to the U. S. Census of 1950. Returning to consideration of areas in which the natural concentration of fluorine in water equals or exceeds the ideal figure of approximately 1 ppm, it has already been stated that more than three million persons have used such concentrations (up to 5 ppm) all their lives without reported ill effects on health." It is probable that analyses in other areas will make this number larger, as a recent report" from Iowa indicates that a considerable percentage of people in that state are using water containing physiologic, or higher, concentrations of fluorine. Evidently, the physiologic daily dose must be exceeded several -fold WATER FLUORIDATION for very proldnged periods before storage of fluorides in bone becomes detectable to X Ray examination. This condition of "bone fluorosis" is the next de- tectable sign after dental fluorosis (mottling) that ideal intakes are being grossly exceeded. Its existence has not been demonstrated in persons receiving up to five times the amounts from natural sources or by any artificial fluoridation program. An X Ray survey of 31 inhabitants of Bureau, Illinois, residents of that community for from 18 to 68 years, and using a water supply providing 2.5 ppm of fluoride, revealed none of the hardening of the bones that characterizes fluorosis. A study" by the same authors of 86 inhab- itants of Kempton, Illinois, where the content of fluorine in water varies from 1.5 to 3.0 ppm also failed to show fluorosis of bone. At a much larger intake (8 ppm) a survey" already cited, was made by a team consisting of three physicians, three nurses and one dentist in the community of Bartlett, Texas. Com- plete physical examinations, medical history, urinal- ysis, blood counts and X Rays of bone were made on everyone resident there for more than 15 years. Over 3000 X Rays were taken and were submitted to the specialists in two well -known clinics for inter- pretation. From one consultant came the opinion that in 12 per cent of the individuals over fifty years of age a minor degree of change in bone structure was present but was without clinical significance. In the neighboring town of Cameron, with three times the population, the same study was made on one out of three persons. Although the concentration of fluorine in the water in Cameron was only 0.3 ppm almost identically that of St. Louis, no evidence was de- veloped to show that the residents of either com- munity were healthier in any way than those of the other. Mottling of the teeth, of course, was common and caries infrequent in the people of Bartlett, in comparison with those living in Cameron. It is outside the range of our purpose to review the chronic toxic effects that appear with still higher in- takes of fluoride. These are seen in industrial poison- ing and usually involve intakes by breathing dust - born fluoride in enormously higher amounts than those defined as. appropriate to a water fluoridation project. It has been shown that with daily intakes up to 5 mg. of fluorine- (five times the ideal dose) excre- tion by urine, sweat and feces keeps up with intake,' only a small fraction being taken up by the teeth. The concentration of fluoride in the urine becomes, therefore, a good indication of the intake until toxic doses are reached and urinary output lags behind bone storage of fluorine. Therefore, some idea of the magnitude of the intake of those industrial workers who have shown X -Ray evidence of bone fluorosis, both with and without symptoms, is revealed in their average reported urinary concentration of 16 ppm in one study and of 10 ppm or more in another." We have, therefore, examined the data submitted by direct medical study of persons using fluorine in physiologic, or larger, concentration in the water supply and the comparative vital statistics revealing incidence of a variety of diseases in communities whose waters bear various concentrations of fluorine, both above and below the ideal level. A third method of determining the effects of fluorine within a re- stricted range of daily dosage is that involving the experimental feeding to humans and to animals. We have cited twice the study made by McClure' and Mitchell (Professor of Animal Nutrition, University of Illinois) and co- workers. They fed to five healthy young men a diet supplemented by fluorine in various forms at different doses up to 6 mg. per day over periods of 21 to 26 weeks. Chemical analyses of all food and fluid and of all excreta (urine, sweat and feces) were made at intervals for fluorine content, hence a most through and critical "balance study" was carried out. Four of their important findings and conclusions will be quoted directly: 1) "The elimination of absorbed fluorine via the urine and perspiration is practically complete when the quantities absorbed do not exceed 4.0 to 5.0 mg. daily." 2) "The proportion of fluorine excreted by the kidneys fell during periods of higher environmental temperature and the proportion excreted in the sweat rose under these circumstances." 3) "There was no significant retention of fluorine in the bodies of these young adult men when total daily fluorine ingested did not exceed 4.0 to 5.0 mg. daily. The data suggest that these may be the limits of fluorine which may be ingested daily without an appreciable hazard of body storage of fluorine." 4) "The consistent evidence of practically complete fluorine equilibrium in these human subjects would seem to indicate also that exposure to domestic waters, such as Galesburg, Illinois, drinking water containing 1.8 to 1.9 ppm flu- orine, or any drinking water which contributes an average of not more than 3.0 to 4.0 mg. fluorine to the ingesta (total intake of fluids and solids) is not liable to create a public health hazard of cumulative toxic fluorosis." Four of their five subjects were care- fully examined at the end of the study period for signs of possible injury to health. Complete physical examinations, blood counts and smears, urinalysis, dental examination and X -Ray of the teeth were not revealing. There was no inflammation of the skin to indicate irritation from the unusually high amounts of fluorine in the sweat. The findings of McClure and Mitchell substantiated earlier balance studies by Machle and Largent' in 1943, although the latter reported storage at total daily intakes of 6 mg. Failure of Machle and Largent to measure the fluorine content of sweat may account for such discrepancy between intake and output at these comparatively large intakes. The results of these ex- haustive balance studies are such as to let us say with confidence that we know enough of the means by which the body disposes of fluorine at levels of daily intake up to 5 mg. to predict that intakes of the order of 1 mg. daily over however long a period will not cause injury to health. A very large body of research is reported on ex- perimental animals fed fluorine in various chemical combinations in a considerable dosages range. While research on member of one species cannot necessarily be applied to those of another species (including man), certain observations as to margins of safety and variations in absorption of different chemical compounds of fluorine are of interest, particularly in considering certain objections to the fluoridation of water. In experiments on rats, Roholm" found that a dose of 1 mg. of fluoride ion per kilo (2.2 pounds) daily would induce incipient mottling of the enamel; the comparable intake for a man weighing 154 pounds would be one quart of water daily with a concentra- tion of 70 ppm. Five times this amount would cause bone fluorosis; ten times the original dose (or the equivalent of one quart of water daily, with a con- centration of 700 ppm) regularly causes signs of ill WATER FLUORIDATION health. Largent fed 65 mg. of fluorine (as sodium fluoride) daily to two dogs from the age of eleven months. After five and one half years the animals were sacrificed and no noteworthy changes were found upon miscroscopic examination of the organs or bones; during life no changes in the bones detectable by X -Ray examination developed " In evaluating such a report, one must take into account the fact that a cor- responding daily dose for a man would be enormously larger than the 1 mg. amount considered ideal for den- tal purposes. Similar studies have been carried through several generations of dogs without dis- cernible effects on their health, yet, it must be re- peated, sensitiveness of different species to the effects of fluorine differ sufficiently that literal application of data on dosage cannot safely be carried over from one species to another. Important differences in the absorption from the in- testine of fluorine, depending upon the form in which it is ingested, was brought out in the publication" by Greenwood in 1946. He fed fluorine in a dosage of 5 mg. per kilo (2.2 pounds) to puppies as sodium flu- oride, as bone meal and as defluorinated phosphate. It was noted that dental fluorosis appeared in the pup- pies receiving sodium fluoride, but not in those re- ceiving the same quantity of fluorine in the other forms, an indication that fluoride ion in bone meal and in defluorinated phosphate is less readily absorbed from the intestine than is sodium fluoride. Jackson came to the same conclusion and reported'$ his feeding experiments on immature and adult rats, showing conclusively that the concentrations of fluorine differs considerably in different bone meals and cooked bone, depending both upon their origin and particle size. Jackson demonstrated the variability of absorption from the intestine of fluorine in bone meals due to these and to other factors and cited other investiga- tions in animal and human feeding experiments to the same point. One of McClure's' salient conclusions was that absorption of fluoride supplements is largely dependent upon their solubility (i. e., upon the ease with which they dissolve in water or in digestive juices). As might be expected, in McClure's balance studies, previously described, from 35 per cent to 50 per cent of the fluoride ingested in bone meal was not absorbed from the digestive tract and appeared ,in the feces. To conclude this inquiry into the most pertinent ex- periments that have been performed on animal spe- cies, let us return to man. and cite one series of ob- servations upon the feeding of sodium fluoride in capsules to patients dying of incurable, malignant (cancerous) states. Black and his co- workers report- ed' upon the results in 70 such individuals, adults and children. Children with leukemia, a deadly disease of the blood forming organs, received a total daily dose of 80 to 200 mg.; the average adult dose was 320 mg. daily. The usual period of medication was three or four months and even in periods up to six months no evidence of acute or chronic intoxication was de- tected. Microscopic examination of organs after death from the disease also failed to reveal damage to tis- sue. One patient is reported to have received a total of 5600 mg. intravenously in doses of 400 mg. over a period of nine days without apparent toxicity! Numer- ous investigators report the personal ingestion of as much as 250 mg. at a single dose although an esti- imated dose of 105 mg. has been reported to be fatal. These acute, short -term experiments are not pertinent 8 to the consideration of a water fluoridation program with a daily dose of about 1 mg. of fluorine to the in- dividual, young or old, sick or well. They are in- troduced only to demonstrate that surprisingly large quantities of this chemical element, fluorine, have been taken daily under careful scrutiny, often over considerable periods of time, by man and animals without detectable ill effects. We have, then, considered the evidence of all types gathered by systematic study of individuals and of vital statistics and by laboratory investigation and we have not encountered any hint of a health hazard in the ingestion of water fluoridated naturally or by sup- plement to the physiologic level or even to a concen- tration four times as high. The reasons why no evidence of injury to health has occurred or is to be anticipated have also been examined. They may best be summarized by the statements: 1) The body shows no tendency to store .fluorine in physiologic dose, ex- cept for a very small fraction in the developing teeth. 2) Excretion through the kidneys and skin of absorbed fluorine in ideal dosage is practically complete. 3) On the basis of all evidence, these physiologic (func- tional) processes are unchanged at levels of intake of fluorine at least four times the ideal daily doses, thus providing a very wide margin of safety for the consumer of properly fluoridated water, whatever his age or state of health. 4) There is strong evidence to support the view that this factor of safety extends to intakes of eight times the ideal daily dose and there is no published evidence to the contrary. Freedom to - dissent from a popular view and the right to advance one's opinion on any topic are among the most precious heritages of those who live under a representative form of government. Part of the price which we gladly pay for -the exercise of these rights is, inevitably, delay in instituting programs which are either highly desirable or vitally necessary. Because of the need for accurate definition of the problem to be faced and the merit of a specific proposal for at- tacking it, confusion and controversy mark a predict- able stage through which the most meritorious pro- posal must pass. These result from impatience or inadequate explanation by its proponents and from honest doubt, unreasoning anxiety, lack of under- standing, suspicion of motives, sheer ineptness, or self- seeking in various degrees on the part of oppon- ents. These evidences of human imperfection form a pattern familiar to one who has studied the progress of legislative proposals to supplement too low a nat- ural concentration of fluorine in a community water supply. Every elected official of a municipality in which fluoridation is contemplated is duty bound to consider the views of the objectors as well as those of the advocates. It is important that he be fully in- formed as to the nature and merit of the opposition. Those of us with scientific aptitude and training who, as members of the medical profession, enjoy the pub- lic trust are under the dual obligations of studying the issues which have been made to appear controver- sial and to proclaim which arguments and attitudes have scientific merit, classifying as irrelevent those which lack such quality. In the enormous literature on fluorides and on fluoridation of water, scientific publications or public testimony in opposition have appeared from six in- dividuals in particular whose scientific training and experience qualify them as deserving of respectful at- tention and inquiry into the reasons for their views. WATER FLUORIDATION They all appeared before the Delaney Committee in opposition to fluoridation of water. Since their op- position is repeatedly cited by those who have little claim to aptitude or opportunity for objective evalua- tion of the problem, detailed comment is in order. 1) Dr. Robert S. Harris, Professor of Biochemistry of Nutrition, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, brought his views into public attention in 1951 in a letter" to a newspaper and made statements therein about the behavior of fluoride in the body which, when he defines the concentration, are at variance with the overwhelming weight of evidence or which leave the concentrations undefined and therefore simp- ly, useless as a basis for discussion. The 12 points into which his letter is arranged constitute an odd mixture of statements of widely supported fact, of allegations which cannot be documented, of others which/ have been disproven and of judgments with which the informed reader may differ. Certain of his arguments were later elaborated in the form of 19 questions in testimony before the Delaney Committee (of which, more later). They have been thoughtfully answered" by Gerald J. Cox, Ph.D., Director of Den- tal Research, School of Dentistry, University of Pitts- burgh, a distinguished contributor to our factual knowledge of the effects of fluorine in human metab- olism. Dr. Harris' questions reveal principally his wholly _understandable wish that more were known of the ultimate cause (if there be only one) of dental caries. They raise no points, however, whose answers can be construed as being unfavorable to a fluorida- tion program. This consideration has, obviously, im- pressed itself upon Dr. Harris who has subsequently (1953) written a letter" stating that he neither sup- ports nor opposes fluoridation. This marks a decided shift from his position taken in 1951 and expressed in 1952 before the Delaney Committee. 2) V. O. Hurme, D.D.S., is Research Director, For- syth Dental Infirmary, Boston, Mass., in which in- stitution dental service is provided for children. He is the author of a paper" entitled "An Examination of the Scientific Basis for Fluoridating Populations" and of a number of public statements questining the ad- visability of fluoridation of water supplies. His article produces no evidence that fluoridation is either dan- gerous or ineffective. A study of his paper leaves the reader with the convictions a) that the author has failed to review the voluminous literature which gives concrete evidence upon points about which he confesses himself to be in doubt and b) that his use of such terms as "mass medication" and "compulsory" procedures reveal an emotional bias which casts doubt on his objectivity. A lengthy comment on points which Dr. Hurme has characterized as controversial has been made subsequently in the same publication by David B. Ast, D.D.S.. Director of the Bureau of Dental Health. New York State Department of Health who has been, unlike Dr. Hurme, long noted for his contributions to the scientific literature on this sub- ject. Those who find themselves alarmed by Dr. Hurme's wish to delay fluoridation pending the estab- lishment of criteria which he does not, himself, define should read Dr. Ast's rebuttal. To quote the latter verbatim, "Many of the accepted public health pro- cedures were generally applied with far less study and knowledge of the mechanism by which they worked or side reactions than is known about water fluoridation. I know of no public health procedure, including water chlorination, Pasteurization of milk, 9 or vaccination which has had the intensive and com- prehensve study before it was applied as water flu- oridation has had." 3) The antifluoridation pamphleteers have made a major issue of a premature announcement of research by Alfred A. Taylor, Ph.D., at the Biochemical In- stitute, the University of Texas (Austin). Dr. Taylor set out to study the time of appearance of malignant breast tumors in a strain of mice used by many lab- oratory workers because they are bred to be specific trait of developing such tumors spontaneously in nearly 100 per cent of animals. Dr. Taylor proposed to give different concentrations of sodium fluoride in the drinking water of different groups of the mice and to observe whether or not the age at which tumors appeared would show any correlation with their re- spective intakes of fluorine. As is their hereditary trait, practically all of the mice died with well developed tumors of the breast. Dr. Taylor, unfortu- nately, sent a letter to Mrs. Marion E. Lyon (of whom more anon) before he had carefully reviewed all the pertinent data in his experiment and even before pub- lication of his findings in a scientific journal. She, as did other pamphleteers, quoted him at length and re- produced his tabulated data to show that mice thought to be receiving 1 ppm and 10 ppm of fluoride in drink- ing water developed the breast tumors at an earlier age than those receiving distilled water. This created a furor, as may be imagined, and was used effectively to cause such alarm in lay minds that plans for flu- oridation in several communities were delayed for the time being. A furor on a different plane, however, re- sulted when a research team from the U. S. Public Health Service reviewed Dr. Taylors plan of pro- cedure and found" that the solid food of the exper- imental animals consisted of a chow which, itself, contained 42 ppm of fluorine! As aftermaths, Dr. Edward Taylor, Director of Dental Health of the Texas State Department of Health wrote an article" entitled "Facts Relative to Rumors that Fluoridation Causes Cancer," which was published promptly in the Texas Dental Journal in refutation of the rumors. Moreover, Dr. Chauncey Leake, Vice - President of the University of Texas and one of the most respected men in the field of the medical sciences, wrote a let- ter" to Dr. Edward Taylor expressing his regret over the incident and making it plain that "there is no contraindication of fluoridation of drinking waters." These, then, are the facts about the research and its attendant publicity which have given rise to the allegations that water fluoridation programs increase the risk of the development of cancer or .that the ef- fects of drinking fluoridated waters may be partic- ularly hazarodus for persons who have cancer! 4) Dr. A. L. Miller is a former State Health Of- ficer of Nebraska, from which State he is now a U. S. Representative and a member of the Delaney Com- mittee, as such, he made a separate statement and has made other addresses on fluoridation before Con- gress, taking a position in opposition to programs for the fluoridation of community water supplies. His arguments disregard the weight of evidence and do not show regard for the realities of the situation in his recommendation that fluorine be provided by' means of tablets or supplement in milk, as will be shown later. He has tortured the meaning of words in attempting to "interpret" the forthright approval by the American Medical Association of the fluorida- tion of water supplies. He has fallen into serious WATER FLUORIDATION factual error in using inappropriate vital statistics in evaluating the incidence of circulatory diseases as a cause of death in Grand Rapids, on which point he has been most clearly and courteously set straight" by W. B. Prothro, M.D., Public Health Director of Grand Rapids. He has presented no acceptable evi- dence that fluoridation is either dangerous, ineffective, or undesirable and his testimony has been challenged in detail elsewhere.' His statements have, inevitably, been widely reproduced as a scientific opinion in op- position to fluoridation. If he claims to speak with scientific, rather than political authority, however, his attitude leaves much to be desired. 5) Margaret C. Smith, Ph.D. and 6) her husband, Howard V. Smith, are distinguished chemists who have for many years been associated with the Univer- sity of Arizona, the former in human nutrition and the latter in agricultural research, respectively. They were among the first to show by animal experiment that mottled teeth could be produced by an excess of flu- orine in the drinking water; among their many valuable contributions are observations on the in- creased incidence of fluorosis at higher environmental temperatures with a given intake of fluoride. In their testimony before the Delaney Committee (loc. cit., p 1602 -1614, 1614 -1623) they stress the value of flu- orine in reducing the incidence of dental caries and state their acceptance of the work of the U. S. Public Health Service in epidemiological studies of naturally fluoridated water and in experimental studies of water supplemented by fluoridation (such as in Grand Rapids). They expressed opposition to the extension of fluoridation programs to other cities (as of 1952) principally in their shared belief that sufficiently exact climatic data were not then available to set a con- centration for a given community which would be high enough to give maximum caries prevention, yet low enough to prevent obvious dental fluorosis. A careful reading of their testimony makes it clear that they consider even "questionable" or "very mild" degrees of dental fluorosis, as defined by the U. S. Public Health Service, to be not only toxic manifesta- tions of fluorine intake but as esthetically objection- able. Now, the definition of "very mild" dental flu- orosis postulates only a few very small, whitish, non- opaque areas on the back teeth, but not involving as much as 25 per cent of any tooth surface. Such are not detectable on examination by the average physician or dentist, much less by the individual who has them. It is therefore, the accepted opinion that they are not objectionable and that their presence in as many as 10 to 15 per cent of persons is not too high a price to pay for the partial protection against caries obtained by fluoridation. It is doubtful that the Smiths are on sound ground in differing with the dentists on this point and insisting on classifying such findings as dental fluorosis, as defiguring and as evi- dence of fluorine toxicity. Evidence has been pub- lished both before"' and since01 their testimony to substantiate their view that the generalization is unsound that 1 ppm of fluoride is the ideal concentra- tion for every community in the United States, re- gardless of climate, as will be elaborated. There can be no quarrel on this point between the Smiths and many advocates of fluoridation programs. Such is the extent of the published dissent.from the almost unanimous view of those qualified through training and experience to express themselves on the scientific aspects of the situation. That the recorded 10 anxiety as to possible, usually unspecified ill effects on the part of so small a minority has been rejected as contrary to the evidence or irrelevant is obvious in the approval of fluoridation by the respected, re- sponsible medical and dental organizations yet to be listed. There is an equally impressive roster of ad- vocates among men of science engaged in teaching, in research, in public health activities and in water engineering. The testimony of the opponents quoted above would be a slender reed to flourish in aggres- sive opposition. It would be fatuous to assume that such constitutes the backbone of determined efforts to prevent the wider adoption of fluoridation. It is a simple matter to identify the sources of strength be- hind the avowed and open resistance to fluoridation but assay of their various motives is sometimes dif- ficult. Several groups of pamphleteers regularly spread their antifluoridation documents in commun- ities which are entertaining proposals for fluoridation. Pertinent data as to membership, methods of arriving at policy, organization and sources of funds are not often revealed. Close study of their printed material gives a clear view, however, of their standards of re- porting and what, for want of a better term, may be termed their sense of responsibility. Space does not permit the inclusion of the detailed critique which has been prepared. A few allusions, quotations and comments should be sufficient to characterize them. Printegl and mimeographed material from the follow- ing three sources have been liberally circulated in metropolitan St. Louis and have been effective, hither- to, in their purpose. 1) A compilation of mimeographed material was re- ceived on November 10, 1951, from the Water Com- missioner of St. Louis, Mr. Thomas J. Skinker, at the St. Louis Medical Society. It bears the name and address of Mrs. Marion E. Lyon, 415 South Main Street, Geneva, N. Y. and the notation that it was ob- tained from her on October 25, 1951. It consists of 14 sheets of paper with 46 numbered items of ex- cerpts from newspaper stories, scientific publications, speeches and letters addressed, presumably, to Mrs. Lyon. The authors are so various in occupation as to defy classification and their attributed claims to authority are, at times, obscure. Reference will be made to the paragraphs as numbered, for the con- venience of those in possession of copies of this document. The comments to be made are concerned with views attributed to those individuals whose stated professional position immediately rouses the interest of the reader. As might be expected, the opinions of Alfred Taylor, Ph.D., the unhappy outcome of whose observations on breast cancer in mice will be recalled, are set forth in paragraphs 1, 16 and 37, paragraph 16 being devoted to his letter, itself to Mrs. Lyon. The views of Dr. V. O. Hurme," appear in paragraphs 24 and 35 and Dr. Robert S. Harris' letter" of February 25, 1951, is quoted, in part, in paragraph 33. The portion of Dr. Harris' letter testify- ing to the effectiveness of fluoridation is not repro- duced. To the uninitiated, the appearance of testimony by Dr. Huntington Williams, M.D., Health Commissioner of Baltimore, in paragraph 11, by Winston H. Tucker, M.D., Health Commissioner of Evanston, Illinois, in paragraph 26 and by Dr. J. L. T. Appleton, Professor of Microbiology in the School of Dentistry, Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, in paragraph 34, that fluoridation should be undertaken only as an experiment comes as WATER FLUORIDATION a shock until one notes that these statements are undated. Inquiry shows that Dr. Williams subsequent- ly recommended" on March 3, 1952, fluoridation of the water supply of Baltimore and this was put into effect on November 26, 1952. Dr. Tucker's statement was made in October of 1951; his advocacy of fluorida- tion for other communities has been made clear." Dr. Appleton's quoted statement was made in May, 1950; he is a declared advocate of fluoridation and, as a member of the Ad Hoc Committtee on Fluoridation of Water Supplies, National Research Council, partic- ipated in the preparation of that Report' which recom- mended fluoridation in November, 1951. These gentle- men are distinguished students of the effects of flu- oridation, of conservative and mature judgment and in positions of grave responsibility. They had no hesitancy about counselling a cautious approach in earlier years. Statements in opposition to fluoridation are attributed in paragraph 26 to Dr. E. V. McCollum, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry of Johns Hopkins University, one of the great scientists of his genera- tion, whose textbook is known to every medical stu- dent of the past fifty years. Mrs. Lyon has released material quoting one Harold Lamb, D.M.D., who quotes an alleged letter dated August 21, 1950, at- tributed to Dr. McCollum, in these words. "This meas- ure of prevention, in some measure, the high inci- dence of dental caries, is in the experimental stage. So far as I am aware, it has not been found to be effective where it has been tried." Dr. Lamb there- upon assures the reader that this statement "may be verified at sources by any who wish to take the trouble to write." Upon inquiry, Dr. McCollum has denied40 being the author of such a letter and has challenged the Citizens Medical Reference Bureau to verify its existence which they have not, apparent- ly, undertaken to do. An issue far more grave than mere obsolescence of viewpoint has been introduced by the inclusion of - naterial whose authenticity has been repudiated. No explanation from Mrs. Lyon, Dr. Lamb or the Citizens' Reference Bureau has come to our attention. In portions of the Lyon document which purport to abstract original source material from the scientific journals, no pretence of reporting objectively the whole purpose and conclusion of each author is evi- dent to one who has studied the original publications. In paragraph 22 appears an excerpt attributed to the April, 1951, issue of Prevention, a Magazine Devoted to the Conservation of Human Health (of which, more later). This excerpt is written in such a way as to give the reader the impression that all the material in it expresses the findings and viewpoints of the studies', '' ", " on fluoride "balance" and the dif- ferences in solubility and absorbability between bone meal and sodium fluoride, reviewed earlier in con- siderable detail. Whoever prepared the material for publication in Prevention, however, has very care- fully selected certain data of the authors and written it up in such a way to include his own comments as though they were the remarks of the authors. He has omitted all data, references ' and conclusions un- favorable to his cause. Jackson's and Largent'• " would be amazed to learn that an uninformed person, read- ing paragraph 22, would prabably draw the con- clusions that they considered bone meal to be a "safer" or more appropriate method of administering fluorine than by the fluoridation of the water supply for human beings. And McClure" " one of the most prolific contributors of studies on the metabolism of fluorine, would never discover, in reading the mixture of his data taken out of context and special pleading by the reviewer, that he, himself, was a consistent advocate of fluoridation. The evidence advanced above should be sufficient to thoroughly discredit the printed matter emanating through the Lyon document, from the Citizen's Refer- ence Committee and in Prevention. A further com- ment on the last is in order. Perusal of several re- prints have shown a continuing devotion to the ex- ploded" views of Representative Miller and of Dr. Alfred Taylor more than a year after Dr. Leake's repudiation of that affair." In response to request, the assistant editor of Prevention sent a copy of the issue of June, 1953, with a cordial letter stating: "As you will see, we do not advocate the health policies of any special group. We do research in _ medical and scientific magazines and publish the results of our findings as they relate to prevention of disease. It is our opinion that a . correct diet and way of life will in general prevent many of the diseases of twentieth century life." A study of the issue submitted reveals that such a disclaimer is less than candid. The char- acter of the advertising and of the news articles leads only to the conclusion that this magazine follows the line of thought known as Naturopathy. It includes an antifluoridation article by the same lay author whose diatribe against fluoridation was published in February, 1953, issue of Harpers Magazine and con- sists of the usual mixture of allegations which form such a familiar pattern. While they concentrate on the "Operation Rat Poison" theme to characterize the fluoridation movement, they seem most concerned' about the use of the community water supply as a vehicle for fluorides and they occasionally suggest that fluoride intake for reduction of dental caries may be desirable if it is ingested in some other vehicle. One wonders whether this press has sent pamphlets into those communities which have installed deflu- oridation plants in order to reduce the high concentra- tion elsewhere as they oppose supplementing the low concentration in St. Louis and St. Louis County. If not, their devotion to "natural" water is tainted,. if . the former adjective can be fairly applied to any aqueous solution treated as is our own to make it acceptable from the esthetic viewpoint as well as from considerations of self - preservation. Clearly, the human ingestion of adequate amounts of fluoride as bone meal or pablum is acceptable to this publication, as stated in the excerpt attributed to it in paragraph 22 of the Lyon document. Without any imputation as to the motivation of this publication, its position is quite inconsistent, it has no discernible scientific status and its standard of reporting makes any of its state- ments on this subject unacceptable as evidence. The product of a third pamphleteer, W. D. Herrstom, of Faribault, Minn., is worthy of note. It is entitled "Americanism Bulletin," selling for ten cents per issue. The September, 1951, issue" was sent into St. Louis as recently as July, 1953. It contains "25 rea- sons why community water supplies should not be fluoridated." These contain no evidence of either scientific or educational value, but express concern lest a saboteur fatally poison an entire community through excessive fluoridation by the mere twist of a valve. Fluoridation is described also ` as a subtle enemy plot to weaken the mental powers of the American people in order that they will fall an 11 WATER FLUORIDATION easy prey to "Satanic dictatorship." Another issue ap- peals strongly to fear of foreign domination and de- scribes the entire fluoridation movement as a plot by socialistic stooges of Mr. Oscar Ewing. The implica- tion is plain that any supporter of fluoridation is necessarily an admirer of Mr. Ewing's politico -eco- nomic views! This is entertaining grounds for polemics but is far afield from a discussion of the merits of fluoridation or of possible hazards to health. The opponents of fluoridation whose efforts are chiefly confined to pamphleteering at ten cents a copy tend to quote one another and operate in effect, as a team. All have laid much stress on the failure of the Delaney Committee to approve the principle of fluoridation of community water supplies. It is fair to state that many open- minded, genuinely inquiring per- sons without the ability to evaluate scientific evidence have been much impressed by the Delaney Report" and such is the natural reaction to what purported to be a congressional hearing of scientific testimony. The Report itself is, we believe, very fair in inten- tion It reflects a clearly- expressed sense of respon- sibility on the part of the members of the Commit- tee not to reach a hasty conclusion nor one which might conceivably result in harm to the population of any community in the United States. The Report itself, however, is much fairer in tone than was the atmosphere of the Hearings, as a close reading of the latter makes obvious. A contentious attitude, particularly toward witnesses from the United States Public Health Service, seems to have been displayed by the Chief Counsel and by one of the members of the Committee and moved Represent- atives Paul C. Jones of Missouri and Walt Horan of Washington, themselves members, to protest against a "prosecuting" attitude toward certain advocates of fluoridation. We shall not go into a detailed commentary here, as that has been done previously' with, we believe, full effectiveness. We would characterize the Report, not as bad, but as disappointing in that it 1) failed to give due emphasis to the better evidence in the Hearings and 2) sought for perfect and complete knowledge in a scientific field unlike that demanded of any other in which reliable data for day -to -day application are available. To deny the validity of the evidence for the safety of fluoridation today pending the completion and extension of experimental inves- tigations is to disregard what has already been learned and to introduce the concept of a conflict between practice and investigation which is not valid. The ad- ditional views, filed as a separate report by Rep. Miller have been commented on previously. He is in factual error in the notion that only persons under 8 years of age will be benefited by fluoridation and he is guilty more than once of "interpreting" state- ments of the American Medical Association to derive meanings which are contrary to the accepted usage of the English language. In response to a recent in- quiry, George F. Lull, M.D., Secretary of the Amer- ican Medical Association, has furnished" a complete copy of his statement to the Delaney Committee. " The Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry and the Council on Foods and Nutrition unequivocally state: "After considering the evidence available at this time, the Councils believe that the use of drinking water con- taining up to one part per million is safe." The rea- sons given for avoiding additional intake of substances of high fluorine content and the wisdom of varying 12 the seasonal concentration of fluoride ion in the water, according to the climatic conditions, will be familiar to the reader. The Councils quite properly limited their statement to consideration of the health hazard. That they refrained from urging communities to sup- port or oppose fluoridation is simply recognition of the fact that the evaluation of the need for fluoridation in a given community and the assurance of the benefit to be expected from such a local program can best be made by members of the dental profession. Any group of physicians would be presumptuous in setting themselves up as better judges of the latter points than the dentists of the community and of the various Health Services. The House of Delegates has followed a similar viewpoint but endorsed the principle of flu - oridation as a forceful statement of their belief in its safety and effectiveness. Many opponents of the fluoridation of water sup- plies have recognized the merit of a daily intake of fluorine in approximately 1 mg. dosage to increase the resistance of the teeth to caries, provided that an- other means of ingestion be provided. Such alterna- tives suffer from either the risk inherent in dispen- sing necessarily concentrated stock solutions or the uncertainty. of dosage through bread, milk, salt or other foodstuffs whose intake by the individual varies much more widely than does the total intake of water (including the water in solid food). The expense and the distribution problems involved in the dispen- sing of tablets make them an impracticable choice also as a vehicle of preventive medicine. An elaboration" of. the relative unsuitability of all these methods has been furnished by Robert E. Shank, M.D., Professor of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, Washing- ton University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri. Topical application of relatively concentrated solutions of fluorides (directly to the teeth) have proven to be of definite value as a measure of individual pro- phylaxis against tooth decay. It is widely held to be less effective than systemic intake of fluoridated water from birth. The limited dental personnel available in both public health work and . in private practice and the expense of such a method make it a poor choice of methods of prophylaxis in comparison with flu- oridation of a community water supply. It is wholly impracticable as a public health measure, therefore, in any but the small communities or in rural areas. One of the major, secondary benefits to be derived eventually from a fluoridation program is the partial release of dental personnel from the treatment of caries and its complications in order that they may devote more time to oral (mouth) prophylaxis and other phases of dentistry. It is outside the scope of this report to present the evidence for the effectiveness of fluoridation in those communities in which the concentration of fluorine ion in the water supply was formerly less than ideal. This is the prerogative of those members of the dental and public health professions who have made a lengthy study of the accumulated data. Suf- fice it to say that we have reviewed many published studies and have been furnished current, as yet un- published statistics from certain communities which give impressive testimony as to its merit. The close correlaton between endemic (natural) fluoride ion concentration of a community water supply in inverse relationship to the incidence of dental caries at a given age level is a marvel of statistical acceptability. The clarification of this relationship by Deans' and WATER FLUORIDATION others followed from earlier demonstrationsa8 that dis- figuring brownish mottling of the enamel was due invariably to a high fluorine content of water and that where mottling (dental fluorosis) was common, caries was relatively uncommon. These fundamental observa- tions are a brilliant chapter in American science. Naturally enough, the first practical applications to which they were put were the development of means for removal of excessive fluorine from the water. Such programs of defluoridation were in operation for years before sufficient data had been gathered to per- mit the safe beginning of programs to supplement waters naturally deficient in fluorine. It is of particular significance that the people of the city of Muskegon, Michigan (which had only a trace of fluorine in its water and was "teamed" with Grand Rapids for continuing comparison upon the initiation of fluorida- tion in the latter city in 1945) have become so im- pressed with the reduction of dental caries in the children of Grand Rapids that they have ceased to provide a base -line for comparison by initiating the fluoridation of the Muskegon water 23 The greatest benefits are seen in those persons who have received an adequate daily amount of fluorine from birth and this benefit has been clearly demonstrated to extend in such persons into adult life, as shown by compar- ative dental studies" of adults up to the age of 44 liv- ing in Colorado Springs (2.5 ppm) and those living in Boulder, Colorado which has practically no fluorine in its natural water supply. All of the residents raised in a community with an adequate concentration of fluorine will be benefited thereby in time, not merely the school children. It is not widely enough appre- ciated, however, that the benefit in reduction of caries from initiation of a fluoridation program in a given community will be proportionate to the concentration of fluoride ion at the outlets of the water system prior to the start of the operation. The city with a natural concentration of 0.5 ppm, for example can expect de- cidely less reduction of caries experience than one with only a trace of fluorine for the people of the former will have the lower incidence of caries prior to fluoridation. The need for increasing the concentra- tion of fluoride in the water supplies of metropolitan St. Louis has been strongly stated, the entire issue of the Bulletin of the St. Louis Dental Society, April, 1953, having been devoted to papers and communica- tions on the subject of fluoridation. Collected data reported elsewhere" show that the children of this community have an experience of caries somewhat below the level anticipated from the average fluoride ion concentration of approximately 0.3 ppm and more nearly that to be expected from a water supply con- taining 0.5 ppm. This is not necessarily of importance; it may be interpreted as being due either to conserva- tive evaluation of observed caries or to the existence of climatic conditions (higher temperature and humid- ity) in the Mississippi Valley of a more tropical na- ture then we generally assume. Too many other nutritional and oral factors enter into caries incidence to permit a specific explanation of this point. It must be taken into account, however, in considering to what concentration fluoride, supplement should be added to the municipal water supply and in attempt- ing a prediction of what reduction of caries incidence is to be anticipated thereby. As has been stressed, the ideal concentration of fluorine to be approximated for any community must be arrived at by consideration of its climatic character- istics and a lower concentration supplied in seasons of considerable warmth and humidity; there is new evidence " that dental fluorosis occurs at lower con- centrations of fluorine where such weather is pro- longed than in more temperate areas. With such a reservation as to actual concentration to be attained, we strongly endorse the Statement on March 1, 1951, by the Health Commissioner of . St. Louis, J. Earl Smith, M.D., stating the official position of the St. Louis .Health Division and recommending the fluorida- tion of the St. Louis water supply. Dr. Smith has done well to point out that "Fluoridation does not eliminate tooth decay entirely ... Fluoridation is not a cure -all; good dental care will continue to be a necessity. Fluoridation is a preventive measure but is not 100 per cent effective. It is no more a subs 'tute for good dental care than pasteurization is a subst tute for the clean production of milk. It is, howev4 r, a long stride forward in the fight on man's most om- mon defect, tooth decay." As citizens, as well as physicians, we shout be mindful that no evidence of harm to any indu rial process from the use of water containing as littl as 1 ppm of fluoride has been published. On the on- trary, there is much testimony, based upon inves iga- tion in their own laboratories, that the produc of bakers," canners' and brewers" will suffer no el- eterious effect. The fears recently expressed' by G. S. Bratton, Technical Adviser to the Presi nt, Anheuser Busch, Inc. of St. Louis, fall into two at- egories, 1) that the making of beer itself may s er through effects on the yeast (contrary to the evid ce cited) and 2) that the increased concentration of fluoride through such processes as produce by -p d- ucts (which are used in other foods) will exc d permissible limits (approximately 5 ppm), Bra on has been answered, step by step, by W. Victor W ir, President, The St. Louis County Water Co., in an address' which should be studied by anyone in r- ested in this phase of the effects of fluoridation. - prints are obtainable from his office. None of he national distributors of beer has openly opposed u- oridation of their community water supplies but it so happens that none of them is located in a co - munity which has, as yet, initiated fluoridation of its water except Milwaukee which initiated fluori a- tion July 1953. We have every confidence that me - bers of the brewing industry will not in the fut e offer either open or overt opposition to a progr of preventive medicine that is so demonstrably n the public interest. The reader must realize that t e breweries of Milwaukee used water from deep we s containing an average of 0.9 ppm (one as high s 1.8 ppm) of fluoride ion from the year 1879. In mo e recent years, many breweries established priva e filtration plants for the use of Lake Michigan wate , but now use the municipal water supply which co tains only a trace of fluorine. As for other points f interest, fluorides at the specified concentration ha no bactericidal (germ - killing) effect, do not affect compounds formed in water after chlorination an provide all or part of the fluorine needed to remov silica from boiler water, depending upon which co pound is used. There have been no effects on sewag treatment processes, the fluoride concentration of se age quickly reaching that of the water. supply." As of August 1, 1953, the following major cities i the United States are fluoridating their water su plies: Baltimore, Md., Washington, D. C., Pittsburgh 13 - WATER FLUORIDATION Pa., Cincinnati, O., San Francisco and San Diego, Calif., Tulsa, Okla., Louisville, Ky., Indianapolis, Ind., and Milwaukee, Wisc. Philadelphia, Pa. has authorized fluoridation. Together with the more than 700 other communities in 43 states, a total population of more than 14,000,000, are using water supplemented with fluorine. Missouri is one of the five states in which no fluoriation is being practiced, the others being Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. Exhibit 1. Stability of an Element The fundamental premise upon which the science of chemistry is based is that of the uniformity of identity of any element. For instance, all sodium ions with an atomic weight of 23 are identical in properties, no matter what their source. The atomic weight deter- mines the structure of the atom and informs the chemist of the element's characteristic properties and reactions. Ephraim states, The atomic nucleus ... (is) an extremely stable system.' Along with all other chemists, Professors S. S. Cooper and C. N. Jordan of the St. Louis University Department of Chemistry stated recently that Fluoride ion from one source is identical with Fluoride ion from all other sources.' E. A. Doisy, JR., M.D. 1.
