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. 4, record 1, English, - fluoridation

Le terme «fluoruration» est à préférer à celui «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». 1, record 1, French, - fluoruration
