Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), a group of non-profits and individuals petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to end the addition of fluoridation chemicals into drinking water due to fluoride's neurotoxicity. The EPA rejected the petition. In response, the groups are suing the EPA in Federal Court.

We have prepared this Press Kit to provide background information on the trialin which plaintiffs seek to prohibit the addition of fluoridation chemicals to public water systems in the U.S. due to the neurotoxicity of fluoride.
