fluoride free NZ | Where do the fluoridation chemicals come from?

The New Zealand Institute of Chemistry gives an impartial description of where the fluoridation chemicals come from and how they are manufactured.

Step 1 – Production of SiF4

The superphosphate production process results in the evolution of carbon dioxide, steam

and SiF4. This SiF4 is an environmental pollutant and so is removed from the gas stream

and used to produce fluorosilicic acid.

Step 2 – Hydrolysis of SiF4

The SiF4 is removed from the gas stream by contacting the gas with water droplets. This

water hydrolyses the SiF4 as follows:

3SiF4 + 2H2O → 2H2SiF6 + SiO2

The resultant hydrofluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) is used for fluoridating drinking water

“I found out about Fluoride 8 years ago, I began doing lots of research and spreading the word to my friends, family, colleagues and anyone that I was in contact with. The way Mass Media and Government had misinformed the public is so wrong and they will have to make it up to us sooner or later. It is not ok the way that they manipulate the population, they are putting people’s lives and health in risk specially those little ones just been born. I would like to say, thank you Fluoride Free NZ, for providing useful up to date information to help the public make an informed decision on why fluoridation needs to be stopped. It’s great that so many professionals around the world are helping to educate the public about this dangerous relic from a bygone era.”
