Are there other problems with putting fluorosilicic acid in our water?
Definitely! It is much more corrosive and dangerous than calcium fluoride, the form found naturally in water. Fluorosilicic acid is dangerous to handle, hazardous when spilled, and emits explosive hydrogen gas upon contact with metal. The acid can damage water pipes, water meters, hot water heaters, and other “containers.” It would be against the law to dump a couple gallons of it into the Strait, yet the City will be dumping tons of it into the Strait over the years through its sewage system unless the Water Additives Safety Act is passed.
