What this violation means

Fluoride at the optimal level (~0.7 mg/L) reduces tooth decay, which is why most US utilities add it. The MCL of 4.0 mg/L exists to protect against skeletal fluorosis from naturally high-fluoride groundwater, while the EPA's secondary standard of 2.0 mg/L addresses dental fluorosis in children.

Recommended precautions

→Reverse osmosis removes fluoride; standard carbon filters do NOT.
→If your child uses fluoride toothpaste and drinks fluoridated water, supervise brushing to limit ingestion.
→Bone meal supplements often contain fluoride and should be used cautiously.
