TitleRevised Draft NTP Monograph on Systematic Review of Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopmental and Cognitive Health Effects
SubjectThe National Toxicology Program (NTP) conducted a systematic review of the effects of fluoride on neurodevelopment and cognition in children and adults. The assessment integrated the evidence from human, experimental animal, and mechanistic studies. This revised monograph addresses deficiencies identified during external peer review in various aspects of some studies, and in the analysis, summary, and presentation of data in the draft monograph.
Purpose (e.g., abstract)The draft monograph underwent external peer review by an ad hoc committee convened by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). The committee concluded that further analysis or reanalysis was needed to support NTP's conclusions regarding fluoride exposure and effects on neurodevelopment and cognition. A revised draft monograph has been prepared for external peer review by a NASEM committee.
