Does heated fluoridated water create a fluoride gas? If so, is it dangerous to breathe it? The fluoride content of my tap water is 1.9 ppm.

I was told that—
During a 10-minute shower your body will take on 10 to 50 times the level of water-borne chemicals than from drinking a glass of the same water. During a warm shower, the pores of the skin open up and absorb chlorine and other chemicals at an accelerated rate. Even worse, the steam you inhale is far more contaminated than the water itself due to the fact that synthetic chemicals, including chlorine, vaporize much faster than water. While over 96% of the water that comes out of your shower head goes down the drain, almost all of the chemicals vaporize into the air we breathe before the water hits the ground, making the steam more concentrated with chemicals. Also, inhaled chemicals go directly into the blood-stream and have magnified adverse effects.

Surely there have been studies done. Fluoride kills cattle, horses, etc. simply by drinking this industrial waste by-product that’s put in our water supply… although it is a slow death.

Does anyone know anything about "Ion Chromatography" in measuring toxic fluoride poisoning?

I’m basically looking for facts or studies. I’m not looking for assumptions, guesses, what’s politically correct, or religion. Please provide a link, if possible.
Chris,
I wouldn’t say fluoride is safe for babies or children. The benefits of fluoride are nothing more than a statistical illusion. It causes children’s teeth to erupt from six months to two years later than they should normally. It due to fluoride induced hypothyroidism. Fluoride was used to treat hyperthyroidism years ago by adding some fluoride to water in a bath.
Trendley Dean, DDS, (the “father of fluoridation”), the original promoter of water fluoridation as an effective tool in fighting dental decay, admitted over 50 years ago under oath, that his data purporting to prove the fluoridation hypothesis were not valid. (H. Trendley Dean: Proceedings, City of Oroville vs. Public Utilities Commission of the State of California, Oroville, California, Oroville, California, October 20-21, 1955.)… also… (See 4-1: “Fluoridation Benefits — Statistical Illusion.” Testimony of Konstantin K. Paluev, Research and Development Engineer, Mar. 6, 1957).

I live in the United Arab Emirates and the tap water here is quite hard (it has a lot of dissolved substances in it)
Is boiling the tap water then using it for my fish tank enough? Because my parents gwet quite pissed off that I use so much bottled water for just my fish!
Ok so its fine if i boil the water, let it get to room temp, add a filter to oxegenate the water, then add it to the tank rite?

Its got chlorine and solids in it, but if you drink a lot of tap water compared to purified water is the moisturization any difference?

Im from England and going to Turkey in a couple of days. I’ve heard that you mustn’t drink the tap water, but drink bottled water instead. However, when preparing salads and washing fruit and vegetables that aren’t going to be cooked, is it ok to wash them in the tap water and eat them raw?
Exactly how strict do you have to be? Also with ice in drinks?

I am starting to look at getting either a diatom filter or a UV sterilizer for my 75 gallon freshwater aquarium. Why? Because i have had water clairity issues from day one (tank is 5 months old). Please dont respond and tell me what i could be doing wrong to correct my water. I have posted here for help previously and got some great advice, but still have cloudy water. I have exhausted every possiblility (keeping tank darkened, innumerable polishing pads, water clairifier, reduced food fed, water changes, increased tank temp, resident pleco, etc..) All water parameters (pH, ammonia, nitrates/rites,alkalinity) are within normal limits. The tank is specically set up for discus fish (soft water at about 84 degrees F). So adding a bunch of chemicals is not an option. I am at my wits end here so all of you fish experts out there please tell me why you would recommend either a diatom filter or a UV sterilizer. I would love to get a diatom but its so expensive that i just i was wondering if a UV can provide me with the same results? I know very little about both options. If I can provide any more infor i’ll check back and add anything i may have forgotten.

Thank you all in advance for your help! )

Okay, so its not a tap water problem because i dont use tap water. I use strictly RO water. This also rules out any chlorine issue.

And to answer the other question brought up, as i described in my question i have used a water clairifier. A few different kinds actually. Nothing changed. I am currently using a Fluval 405 filter. I am not one bit impressed with… obviously.
Also, again ammonia isnt a problem. I test my water regularly and none of my parameters are abnormal.

My girlfriend has a fresh water fish tank. Her tap water is more or less an unusable source for water for the fish tank. Come to find out tonight, she has put distilled water in it. So now I have to go do damage control in the morning while she is off at work. What would be the best thing for me to bring over and fill the fish tank with water wise?

I’m sure there is all sorts of bacteria in tap water, but does anyone know what kind of bacteria? And what would happen if it was injected into a vein?

I was recently at a Pizza Hut Express in California and asked for tap water, and was refused. I was told to buy bottled water instead at a nearby machine. I have never been refused water like this before — does anyone know if there is some sort of state mandate that requires restaurants/bars/food service counters to offer tap water when it’s available from their soft drink dispensing machines?

I don’t. I’m not that foolish. Bottled water isNOT what you think it is.
I see that you do love bottled water. But I won’t say anything, i’ll just laugh to myself. My tap water tastes better than any bottled water I’ve tasted. And a hell of a lot cheaper, too!
You all have it put into your feeble little minds that bottled water tastes better. Who brainwashed you?

I was thinking of just boiling the tap water, then pouring it into jugs and keeping the water in the fridge. It would save money.

I live in a penthouse which is on the 23rd floor of a city highrise. The last couple months I’ve noticed the kitchen tap water smelling like rotten eggs. The bathroom sink & shower seem to be fine. The hot & cold water come from the same faucet & both smell, although the hot water smells worse. If i let the water run for a minute the smell seems to go away. Is there anyway i can remove the smell myself or do i have to contact the city water department ?

Before filtering tap water with the Brita pitcher, I let it stand in an open jar for up to 9 hours. Will this water contain much less chlorine after 9 hours compared to fresh water from the tap?

I know about the light spectrum and why I looks blue in the oceans but why doesn’t that apply in bottled or tap water?

It’s for my venus fly trap, since tap water won’t cut it and rain water seems to unreliable, especially since I live in an apartment.

I looked online and lots of people say Boots, but when I checked their website, they only sell purified water on prescription, for some reason? I don’t think my GP will write out a prescription for my plant, so…

does anyone know where in London I can buy distilled or purified water?
