Drinking Water Fluoridation in London

 

Recommendation:  That, the Report dated April 23, 2012, from the Acting Executive Director, Planning, Environmental and Engineering Services and City Engineer, with respect to drinking water fluoridation in the City of London BE RECEIVED for information, and the following resolution BE APPROVED:

 

WHEREAS at the municipal election of 1966, a plebiscite was conducted and Londoners voted in favour of fluoridation of the public water supply of the City;

 

AND WHEREAS the City of London’s drinking water has been fluoridated since September, 1967, as per City of London By-law No. A.-3694-18, as authorized by the Fluoridation Act, and as regulated by the Ministry of the Environment;

 

AND WHEREAS at the Global Consultation on Oral Health Through Fluoride (2006), the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Dental Federation and the International Association for Dental Research reaffirmed the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and safety of the daily use of optimal fluoride, and confirmed that universal access to fluoride for dental health is a part of the basic human right to health;

 

AND WHEREAS more than 90 national and international public health agencies have endorsed the use of fluoride at recommended levels to prevent tooth decay;

 

AND WHEREAS the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared fluoridation of drinking water to be one of the ten great public health achievements of the 20th century;

 

            AND WHEREAS in June of 2011, Health Canada released the results of a multi-year, systematic review of the health risks associated with fluoride in drinking water and concluded that “The weight of evidence from all currently available studies does not support a link between exposure to fluoride in drinking water at 1.5 mg/L and any adverse health effects…;

 

            AND WHEREAS the aforementioned Health Canada review also stated that “… the optimal concentration of fluoride in drinking water for dental health has been determined to be 0.7 mg/L for communities who wish to fluoridate. This concentration provides optimal dental health benefits and is well below the MAC (Maximum Acceptable Concentration of 1.5 mg/L) to protect against adverse effect”;

 

            AND WHEREAS in April of 2011, Dr. Arlene King, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health issued a statement expressing concern about the loss of fluoridated drinking water in certain communities in spite of consistent evidence that water fluoridation is safe and effective”;

 

            AND WHEREAS in February of 2011, the Board of Health for the Middlesex-London Health Unit unanimously supported the recommendation of Dr. Graham Pollett, Medical Officer of Health to “support the ongoing fluoridation of the City of London’s drinking water supply as a measure to achieve optimal dental/oral health for all residents, which is an important component of total health”; and,

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT The Corporation of the City of London affirms its confidence in the integrity and recommendations of the World Health Organization, Health Canada, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, and the Medical Officer of Health for the Middlesex-London Health Unit, and thus supports the ongoing fluoridation of the City of London’s drinking water;
