English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
OBS

The term "fluoridation" is preferable to "fluorination" because the element is used in the form of the fluoride, unlike chlorine which is added as such. By analogy, the term "fluoride removal" (defluoridation) will also be used.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Traitement des eaux
OBS

Le terme de "fluoruration" est à préférer à celui de "fluoration", car c'est sous forme de fluorure, à la différence du chlore, que cet élément sera utilisé. Par analogie, on parlera alors également de "défluoruration".
