This is the official website of Flouride Action Network (FAN), an International voluntary group. In 2000, it came into existence to not only create awareness about the risks posed by flouride to humans, economy and ecology but also to work out preventive strategies. FAN is working in collaboration with six regional partners. This site is a collection of rich data base in form of research papers, web links and latest happenings from the world as a whole. It provides intensive information on the role of selected five industries in spreading flouride pollution. A comprehensive list of videos on the issue is also available. Surf this site to know more and to join the fight against flouride.
