[Fluoridation of drinking water in Pancevo]

In Pancevo on May 12, 1988 the continual fluoridation of water was started. Fluoridation is conducted with 2% silicofluoride acid. Up to now, controls on fluoride content in drinking water, which are conducted on eight places in the city, show that the concentration of fluoride is about 1 mg of fluoride per liter of drinking water. There are very little deviations during measurement, so the system can be considered as safe. The analysis of costs of water fluoridation in October 1988 was 250 dinars per inhabitant. In this way we achieved the most efficient and at the same time cheap method of dental health protection as well as the protection of the whole human organism, in accordance with the opinions of the World Health Organization concerning that subject.
