Maternal Urinary Fluoride Levels of a Large Pregnancy Cohort in the United States: Findings from the ADORE Study
MUFsg in this population of midwestern US women exceeds the safety benchmark for pregnancy. While we cannot account for all sources of fluoride, MUFsg was correlated to PWS fluoridation. Because so many exceeded the safety benchmark for MUFsg, there is a need for MUFsg evaluation in other US regions, especially where the PWS fluoridation exceeds US Department of Health and Human Services recommendations (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:mo>≥</mml:mo><mml:mn>0.7</mml:mn><mml:mspace></mml:mspace><mml:mi>mg</mml:mi><mml:mo>/</mml:mo><mml:mi>L</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:math>). https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP14711.
