Request to draft a bill in the legislature to remove Sodium

Fluoride from the North Carolina state water supply

Dear Senator Philip E. Berger,

There is amounting evidence on the dangers of Sodium Fluoride yet last year when I sent you

documentation regarding the dangers of fluoride, you have taken no action as of yet or at least did notnotify me. So I thought it would be better to Fax all the evidence and proper documentation to you and

will also forward to the state Health Department as to why Sodium Fluoride is a poison, and I am not

crazy nor am I making this up as I have all the documentation from different chemical companies

even one in Australia that fluoride is a certified chemical poison. I even have a news video where on

the record a hazmat team had to clean up a chemical spill and what was the chemical that they spilled

accidentally??? Sodium Fluoride used in water treatment facilities.No sane expert can ignore the documents I found, stored on my hard drive, and will send to you

regarding the dangers of Sodium Fluoride. First of all Sodium Fluoride has been used as a insecticide.

Not just that but those who have purchased a bag of Sodium Fluoride will notice the Toxic

symbol with a skull and bones on it.

Also an informer of mine sent me a picture from the tour he had with several other reporters atthe Austin Water Treatment facility.

Picture sent to me by Rae [email protected]. Fell free to contact him!

You will notice in the picture I send in this fax that the Austin Water Utility has a fire diamond

issued usually by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) that has ratings on the diamonds for

chemicals based on different factors usually set by the state fire marshal's code enforcer. The MSDS

rating of 4 is even higher then in the documents that only give fluoride a MSDS chemical danger ratingof 3. Here is an overview of MSDS ratings.

Rating Summary

Health

Use the most severe rating code regardless of volume.

Health (Blue)Detailed Description of Health Rating

4 Danger May be fatal on short exposure. Specialized protective equipment required

3 Warning Corrosive or toxic. Avoid skin contact or inhalation

2 Warning May be harmful if inhaled or absorbed

1 Caution May be irritating

0 No unusual hazard

The number 3 and 4 it is a poison and hazardous to human health, so I wonder why hasn't itaffected many people yet negatively? Maybe it already has because since the water treatment facilities

use a certain amount of fluoride per ounce, that it has small but still hazardous effects that affect people

over time, so when people finally realize how hazardous fluoride was and is it will be too late as many

humans across America have been damaged by the chemical. Already doctors deal with bone problemsin elderly patients, rising stupidity in public school test scores, rising short attention spans, rising

epidemics of alzheimer's disease and other neurological problems and other health problems on the rise

yet doctors still have yet on whether to pinpoint it on Sodium Fluoride or at least in part.I have even referenced in this fax document that there are doctors that are against drinking of

fluoride. Putting fluoride in our states drinking water is also a form of forced medication.I am hoping you will take all of the evidence I am presenting to make a case in the North

Carolina Legislature building and even the state Health Department to begin the removal of fluoride

throughout every water treatment/filtration facility within the state borders. No sane senator can just let

a known poisonous chemical stay in the water supply not even a fraction of it. It is your duty as a

Senator to do your own research, hear arguments from both sides, call chemical companies, andconduct a non-biased investigation to find out the truth and then use the facts to state your case as to

why Sodium Fluoride must not be in towns, cities, or even Metropolitan areas within the state of North

Carolina.So please I urge you to read the documents in this fax I am sending to you, call these chemical

companies up to verify the information, and then present your case to the legislature and health

department. I hope you can come up with a bill to make the state of North Carolina take out all of thefluoride chemical and it's variants from all water treatment plants within the state.

Sincerely,

Brian D. HillPublic Email: [email protected]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ7P1vkIpCk Rock Island Water Treatment Plant required teams

of people wearing hazmat suits to clean up the chemical spill of Fluoride which was eating through theconcrete.

http://www.newschannel5.com/Global/story.asp?S=5726800 The ADA's recommendation that

fluoride is safe is questionable when the very same people pushing fluoride in our Health Departmentsadmit that it is dangerous to infants. Here's a quote from this news article:

Dan Stockin thinks cities shouldn't add fluoride to their water supply, because he claims it causes bigproblems.

"When the teeth are forming, the fluoride affects the teeth," Stockin said.

Overexposure to fluoride, or dental fluorosis, leaves permanent markings on the teeth.

Stockin feels keeping fluoride out of formula is one way to help stop dental fluorosis, but worries some

families who have no choice but to use tap water.

"Who's gonna pay for the expensive filtration system for a single mom who's living on minimum

wage? Who's going to pay for the bottled water? Who's going to get the information to the people who

needed it the most?" he said.

When using formula, the ADA recommends parents use fluoride-free bottled water or use ready-to-feedformula that comes in a can or bottle.

Breast milk is the safest alternative.

Causes irritation, with redness and pain. Solutions are corrosive. Effects may not appear immediately.

Eye Contact:

Eye irritant! May cause irritation and serious eye damage. Effects may not immediately appear.

Chronic Exposure:Chronic exposure may cause mottling of teeth and bone damage (osteosclerosis) and fluorosis. Symptoms of

fluorisis include brittle bones,weight loss, anemia, calcified ligaments, general ill health and joint stiffness.

Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:

Populations that appear to be at increased risk from the effects of fluoride are individuals that suffer from

diabetes insipidus or some forms of renal impairment.

4. First Aid Measures

First aid procedures should be pre-planned for fluoride compound emergencies.

Inhalation:

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

Ingestion:

Administer milk, chewable calcium carbonate tablets or milk of magnesia. Never give anything by mouth to an

unconscious person. CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

Skin Contact:

Wipe off any excess material from skin and then immediately flush skin with large amounts of soapy water.

Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before re-use. Apply bandages soaked in magnesium

sulfate. CALL A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

Eye Contact:

Immediately flush eyes with gentle but large stream of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper

eyelids occasionally. Call a physician immediately.

Note to Physician:

For large exposures, systemic effects (hypocalcemia and hypomagnesia) may occur.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Fire:

Not considered to be a fire hazard.

Explosion:

Not considered to be an explosion hazard.

Fire Extinguishing Media:


7/17

Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.

Special Information:

In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with

full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills:

Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust.US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable

quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802.

7. Handling and Storage

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage.

Separate from acids and oxidizing materials. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since

they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Airborne Exposure Limits:

-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):

2.5 mg(F)/m3 (TWA)

-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):

2.5 mg(F)/m3 (TWA)

Ventilation System:

A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne

Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the

contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to the ACGIHdocument, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.

Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):

If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate respirator

(NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use

concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A

full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) may be worn up to 50 times the exposure limit,

or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator supplier,

whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type

R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece

positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in

oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

Skin Protection:

Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to

prevent skin contact.

Eye Protection:

Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain

eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
