Fluoride in Water: A Public Health Measure or a Cause for Concern?

**U.S. Report: Fluoride at Double the Recommended Level Linked to Lower IQ in Children**
U.S. Report: Fluoride at Double the Recommended Level Linked to Lower IQ in Children

For decades, fluoride has been lauded as a public health success, reducing cavities and improving oral health. However, growing skepticism surrounds its safety, particularly regarding neurodevelopment in children. A comprehensive review by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) concluded that high fluoride exposure, exceeding 1.5 mg/L, could lead to lower IQ levels in children. Despite assurances that current U.S. fluoride levels are safe, many question whether fluoride should be in our water at all.

For those concerned, EMF Testing offers reliable fluoride water testing services throughout Hillsborough County for $60, allowing residents to assess and address fluoride levels in their water supply. The debate continues, but the importance of individual choice and access to clean, safe drinking water cannot be overstated.


As more research emerges, it’s crucial to stay informed and take action to ensure that our water is safe for everyone, especially the most vulnerable populations—pregnant women and children. EMF Testing stands ready to assist those who wish to test their water for fluoride content and make informed decisions about their health.

  • How often should I repeat EMF testing?
    The frequency of EMF testing depends on your circumstances. It may be necessary to retest if you make changes to your environment or if new EMF sources are introduced.
  • Are there any health risks associated with EMF testing itself?
    EMF testing does not pose any known health risks. It is a non-invasive process that simply measures existing EMF levels in your environment.
  • What should I do if EMF levels are found to be high?
    If high EMF levels are detected, you may consider taking steps to reduce exposure. This could involve rearranging furniture, using shielding materials, or, in extreme cases, relocating.
  • What types of EMF sources are typically tested?
    EMF testing covers a range of sources, including power lines, electrical appliances, Wi-Fi routers, cell phone towers, and more.
  • Who should consider getting EMF testing?
    Anyone concerned about EMF exposure, especially those living near power lines, using electronic devices extensively, or experiencing unexplained health issues, should consider EMF testing.
  • How long does an EMF testing session take?
    The duration of an EMF testing session depends on the size of the area being tested and the complexity of the environment. It can range from a couple of hours to a full day.
  • How is EMF testing conducted?
    Trained technicians use specialized equipment to measure EMF levels. They may use meters or analyzers to assess magnetic fields, electric fields, and radiofrequency radiation.
  • Are EMF levels higher indoors or outdoors?
    EMF levels can vary significantly depending on your location. Certain indoor spaces with electronic equipment may have higher EMF levels, but outdoor sources like power lines and cell towers can also contribute to exposure.
  • What is EMF testing, and why is it important?
    EMF testing, or Electromagnetic Field testing, assesses the levels of electromagnetic radiation in your environment. It's important to ensure your exposure to EMF is within safe limits, as prolonged exposure can have potential health effects.
  • Can EMF testing help diagnose health issues?
    EMF testing can identify elevated EMF levels, but it cannot diagnose specific health issues. If you suspect health problems related to EMF exposure, consult a healthcare professional.
  • Is EMF testing necessary for everyone?
    EMF testing is not necessary for everyone. It is recommended primarily for those who have concerns about EMF exposure or who are experiencing health issues they suspect may be related to EMF.
  • What are safe EMF exposure levels?
    Safe exposure levels vary depending on the type of EMF and frequency. EMF testing helps determine if levels are within the recommended safety limits set by relevant regulatory bodies.
  • Can I conduct EMF testing myself using consumer-grade meters?
    While consumer-grade EMF meters are available, professional EMF testing is more accurate and comprehensive. Trained technicians have the knowledge and equipment to provide a thorough assessment.
  • Is EMF testing expensive?
    The cost of EMF testing varies depending on the scope of the assessment and the location. It is an investment in safety and peace of mind, and prices can vary accordingly. Our standard EMF Testing cost for a residential property is about $199
