Water director says fluoride additive is hazardous in concentrated form, describes worker protections

During the staff presentation the water treatment plant and its fluoride-additive room were shown to the council. Water Director Andrew described the physical hazards of the concentrated additive and the protective steps plant operators take: "it's very nasty when it's in its whole form," he said, adding that operators wear chemical suits, masks and boots and that the room’s ventilation runs 24/7.
