Heliodex /🅮/acc on Nostr: If you really really care about industrial pollution, production of fluoridated water ...
If you really really care about industrial pollution, production of fluoridated water wouldn't be the best place to start. Most manufacturing is made as a byproduct of synthetic fertiliser manufacture, which has small risks associated with pollution from fertiliser runoff (eg. Eutrophication). Alternative methods of production can have more direct risks like handling volatile substances and have less cost effectiveness; chemical processes like these are economically incentivised to prevent waste.
I'd suggest maybe starting with taking action to reduce car exhaust fumes in living environment? There are sure as hell no reputable studies claiming breathing that stuff in is beneficial to your health. Fluoride is only "industrial waste" in the same way that leather is.
