Abstract
"In April and September 1993, CDC convened two advisory workshops to review and revise fluoridation recommendations. Since 1979, CDC has developed guidelines and/or recommendations for managers of fluoridated public water systems. This report summarizes the results of these two workshops and consolidates and updates CDC's previous recommendations. Implementation of these recommendations should contribute to the achievement of continuous levels of optimally fluoridated drinking water for the U.S. population, minimize potential fluoride overfeeds (i.e., any fluoride level that is greater than the recommended control range of the water system), and contribute to the safe operation of all fluoridated water systems. The report delineates specific recommendations related to the engineering aspects of water fluoridation, including administration, monitoring and surveillance, technical requirements, and safety procedures. The recommendations address water fluoridation for both community public water supply systems and school public water supply systems." - p. 1The following CDC staff member prepared this report: Thomas G.
