           UAACC STUDENTS TRIP TO NGURDOTO DEFLUORIDATION RESEARCH STATION.

It was August 1 when the students of UAACC and the Activists brothers and sister from FAHAMU ORG and the rest of UAACC VOLUNTEERS organised together to make a study tour to visit the Ngurdoto Reseach station for Deflouradation aim to know how does the Fluoride strike humanbeings.

Unfortunately things wouldnt work out at the 1st of August and it worked the second day.We met an assistant of the station brother. Masumbuko Godwin who comes from Dar es salaam as worker of the Ministry of water.He first started to tell us abou the history of the station.

SHORT HISTORY.
Ngurdoto Defluoridation Station [district of Arumeru] established more than 20 years,aimed to reduce,and remove the Fluoride in water scinetifically.
After researchers from overseas and Tanzania found out that the water of Arumeru district especially some of the villages like Imbaseni,Ngongongare and Umoja have 22ml of Fluoride per Litre before the wrong data analysized by earlier research for claimed that it has 2.2 ml of Fluoride per Litre,then the reason why the Government republic of Tanzania decided to launch this station for doing research and ways to reduce or remove Fluoride in Arumeru district's water.

UNITED AFRICAN ALLIANCE COMMUNITY CENTER.
Is the community center which im volunteering for one year and couple months,it has water project for the community which we supply free of charge towards the community of Imbaseni after brother Pete and his comrade late. Geronimo Ji Jaga agreed each other to help the community by water supplying.I first met researchers of defluoridation from Ngurdoto last one month when they came to measure how much does the UAACC water has an amount of Fluoride and they found it has 13 to 14ml  of Fluoride per Litre.

HOW DO WE UNDERSTAND FLUORIDE IN WATER??
Fluoride are natural mineral which formed by the rock formation,which also needed in human being but not as much as 1.5ml per Litre in a drinking or cooking water as it has been suggested to humanbeing should use from WHO report.
more than that can bring great disadvantage to humanbeing like dental fluorosis,Skeleton Flurosis ,Cripping Flurosis etc.

CLASSIFICATION.

DRINKING WATER                                      LIKELY DISEASE                                     SYMMPTOMS

1.5ml to 3ml                                              -dental Flurosis                                  -objectionable motting of the teeth.

4ml to 8ml                                                -skeleton flurosis                                -malformation of the bones,movement                                                                                                                                       difficulties

8ml tp 10m                                               -cripping bones.                                 -bone junctionsgrowing together immbility.


NB

during rain season the neighbourhood villages of Usa River,villages like Imbaseni,Ngongongare,Umoja,etc estimate we drinks  13ml to 15ml per Litre of Fluoride which they are abit not much rather than when dry season[autumn] cause the amount of Fluoride rise high due to the fact that there no much water so all the water we expect are straight from underground and it has 15ml per Litre to 17ml per Litre and whenever you drink 1litre of water which has Fluoride per day, it estimated you drink 22ml of Fluoride.
and researcher says only 8ml of Fluoride per Litre are quiet to make disadvantages to humanbeing like TO FORGET FREQUENTLY.

Deflouradation Research Station of Ngurdoto they have their own machines[filters] to remove Fluoride in a drinking water,there couple type of those machines but one which I seen it is abit cheap and affordable to most of us,is the one which can prodice 20Litres of clean water per day and can be used to a family which has 8people for drinking and cooking per every single day.
that thing known as FILTER[HOUSE HOLD FILTER] Which require 5kg of cows bones charcoal[pure calcium] to remove every 20litres of water per 5months,and  it cost 60000tsh each one.

HOW DO THEY REMOVE FLUORIDE IN WATER??
They came up with a project of removing fluoride in water through cows bones,they burns bones of the cows in 550degrees - 600 degrees to remove unwanted materials inside of the bones,and then after they burnt the bones they take the ashes as the material acquired to the process of removing Fluoride.
they choose bones cause have high amount of Calcium,and high amount of Calcium can reduce or remove amount of Fluoride.and the charcoal of the burnt cows bones have pure calcium.


IM GLAD MY UAACC FAM GOT FILTER TUBES AND NOW THEY HAVE WATER WHICH HAS NO FLUORIDE...YIAAHH
