“The [Anchorage, Alaska) Mayor’s staff and AWWU’s [Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility] staff had an open and healthy discussion about fluoride during his plant tour,” Corsentino said in the statement. “AWWU staff did express to the Mayor that the handling of the fluoride chemical used to add to our water is a dangerous hazardous chemical.
