Water samples with fluoride concentration outside the acceptable range · Artificially fluoridated public water supply in Brazilian cities (water samples under external control)
In Brazilian cities using external control, more than half of artificially fluoridated public water supply samples (pooled 56.6%, 95% CI 45.5 to 67.3) had fluoride concentrations outside the acceptable range, with very high heterogeneity (I2=99.5%); ungraded.
