5th Annual People's Conference on Fluoride

The 5th Annual People's Conference on Fluoride, which will be held at the Crystal City Hyatt Regency Hotel, 2799 Jefferson Davis Highway, on Sept. 5 - 8. Information about the conference and a detailed agenda are available at http://fluoridealert.org/content/the-5th-citizens-conference-on-fluoride/

Recent research on developmental neurotoxicity will be featured in the science portion of the Conference. Professor Quangyong Xiang from Fudan University (formerly Shanghai Medical University) will present his research findings that showed a decrement in children's IQ as a function of fluoride exposure. 

Dr. William Hirzy, former Senior Scientist in the Risk Assessment Division, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxic Substances, will discuss a risk assessment for developmental neurotoxicity based on the work of Professor Xiang and other research groups that was published by Choi et al. in Environmental Health Perspectives in 2012.  (Dr. Hirzy, a long time member of NTEU280, held various elected offices with our chapter during his career.)

There will also be a law panel which will discuss the legal implications in the United States and Canada for tort and regulatory actions that flow from recent research findings, including the 2006 National Research Council Report on Fluoride Toxicity.
