— I would like to clarify the situation at the Frostburg Water Plant for your
readers. First, I asked both Mayor Bond in person and John Kirby via e-mail to find out if
Frostburg was using Chinese fluoride in our drinking water supply.
After two weeks of no answer to my request, I visited the water plant and was allowed in
after about ten minutes to obtain the information that I requested only to find out that
John Kirby sent a directive to the water plant to not allow me access. Clearly city hall
was trying to block me from seeing if Frostburg was indeed using Chinese fluoride.
I have been at this facility numerous times before with no issue what so ever about being
granted access.
After I obtained the information from Univar USA / Solvay Fluorides, that Frostburg was
adding Chinese fluoride, I asked John Kirby through a freedom of information request to
see certificate of analysis from the Chinese manufacturer and the material safety data
sheets on sodium fluoride.
A couple of days after my reader’s commentary (Chinese fluoride is a homeland
security matter) ran in the Times-News, John Kirby sent me via e-mail the certificate of
analysis from Chinese manufacture and the material safety data sheets that omitted the
chronic toxicity section 11.2.
Solvay fluoride’s own data safety sheets admits chronic toxic effects of the
skeleton, thyroid, testes, kidney, liver was observed. In addition, ambiguous carcinogenic
& mutagenic effects observed, along with fetotoxic ( meaning toxic to fetuses) and
fertility effects.
In the comment section, it explained that chronic exposure may entail dental or
skeletal fluorosis and that there has been a carcinogenic effect found in animals.
A risk of toxic effects on reproduction was also noted. At the recent Frostburg
Mayor and Council meeting I made available this information to them showing them that the
Chinese fluoride had arsenic and lead contaminates within the sodium fluoride and asked
them why they would knowingly put any amount of a human carcinogen or neurotoxin into the
drinking water supply.
I read each one of the toxic effects to the Mayor and Council from Solvay fluorides data
sheets. I asked them do you realize that the data from your own fluoride supplier admits
that you are poisoning the citizens of Frostburg and the surrounding area regardless if it
is a domestic source or imported?
I asked them why would you allow a potential enemy to have access to our drinking water
supplies by administrating a very toxic industrial waste product of China, which could
easily be contaminated with additional hazardous ingredients?
Finally, I asked them to make a motion to remove Chinese fluoride and all other fluoride
chemicals from the drinking water supply, but they were not responsive to my request.
