Question:185 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Environment the scientific studies, if any, presented in view of the fact that fluoride is found in chlorofluorocarbons, CFCs, which have helped create the hole in the ozone layer; and if his attention has been drawn to facts which prove that evaporation of fluoride from lakes and rivers after fluoridation does not take place to add further to ozone depletion.
