“…Franco & Maltz 19 and Villena et al 9 investigated bottled mineral waters sold in Brazil and found high fluoride concentrations not listed on the labels and low concentrations in fluoridated water. In 2004, Ramires et al 14 conducted a study in the municipality of Bauru (SP) and also found great differences between the fluoride measured concentrations and those listed on the labels, as well as concentrations lower than those recommended by the National Health Surveillance Agency.…”

“…Cury 3 argued that the optimum fluoride concentration in mineral water should range between 0.6 and 0.8 ppm F -, values that should be followed by bottled mineral water manufacturers, who, based on the fluoride appeal, often classify their product as fluoridated water, when, in fact, the fluoride concentration is not enough to have a preventive effect against dental caries 5,9 . Moreover, it can be seen in Table 2 that only brand # 2 is in compliance with the limits recommended by ANVISA.…”

“…The consumption of bottled mineral water in Brazil has grown continuously, especially in the Southeast and Northeast regions, with an increasing number of bottled water brands available in the market. Consumers, in general, believe that this source of water has fewer impurities, and therefore there is reduced risk of contamination with pathogens that cause waterborne diseases; thus, it is supposedly healthier and more suitable for daily intake, especially for children 1,[5][6][7][8][9] .…”

Objective Evaluate fluoride concentration in 500ml commercial brands of bottled water and compare it to the amount printed on the label. Methods RESUMOObjetivo Avaliar a concentração de flúor na água engarrafada comercializada, com padrão de apresentação de 500 ml, comparando-a aos valores impressos no rótulo da embalagem. MétodosEstudo epidemiológico, descritivo e transversal. Foram coletadas amostras das nove marcas disponíveis, na forma de apresentação de 500 ml, nos pontos de distribuição autorizados do município de Fortaleza, em 2013. A concentração de flúor foi determinada por análise em duplicata, utilizando o eletrodo íon-específico para fluoretos. Os resultados de concentração de flúor foram obtidos através da regressão linear da curva de calibração. ResultadosA concentração de flúor variou entre 0,07 e 0,63 ppm de flúor por mg/l, com diferenças significantes entre os valores estipulados nos rótulos e os encontrados com a análise, além de apresentar a concentração foram do padrão preconizado pela vigilância sanitária. ConclusõesOs resultados reforçam a necessidade de um controle dos níveis de flúor em águas engarrafadas, além de uma maior fiscalização por parte da vigilância sanitária. cavities but rather controls the rate at which they develop. Fluoride can be ingested through water although there are other fluoride sources including toothpastes, gels, mouth rinses, juices and other beverages, and food and infant formula prepared with fluoridated water.

“…In the United Kingdom, the levels of fl uoride in 12 types of bottled water ranged from 0.1 to 0.8 mg F/l. 30 In the Brazilian market, levels higher than 0.7 mg F/l were noted in 10.6% of 104 commercial brands of mineral water, 34 indicating a need for greater control over manufactured mineral water products.…”

This paper aimed to analyze the fl uoride concentration in drinking water, taking into account the balance between the benefi ts and risks to health, in order to produce scientifi c backing for the updating of the Brazilian legislation. Systematic reviews studies, offi cial documents and meteorological data were examined. The temperatures in Brazilian state capitals indicate that fl uoride levels should be between 0.6 and 0.9 mg F/l in order to prevent dental caries. Natural fl uoride concentration of 1.5 mg F/l is tolerated for consumption in Brazil if there is no technology with an acceptable cost-benefi t ratio for adjusting/removing the excess. Daily intake of water with a fl uoride concentration > 0.9 mg F/l presents a risk to the dentition among children under the age of eight years, and consumers should be explicitly informed of this risk. In view of the expansion of the Brazilian water fl uoridation program to regions with a typically tropical climate, Ordinance 635/75 relating to fl uoride added to the public water supply should be revised.

“…Among Brazilian adolescents that declared daily intake of water, 30 percent pointed bottled water as main source 5 . The replacement of tap water consumption by bottled water can represent a risk for child dentition according to the fluoride concentration 6,7 . Bottled water surveillance can be defined as the continuous and vigilant public health assessment and review of its safety and acceptability.…”

This study aimed to summarize major methodological features and main findings described in the studies on fluoride concentration monitoring in bottled water, published in specialized journals between 2008 and 2012, highlighting their implications for public health surveillance. A systematic review was conducted searching scientific articles in the databases: Lilacs, PubMed and Scopus. Twenty-two articles from the world's main continents were included: 68.2% informed both the number of samples and brands collected; 81.8% examined products collected in only a city or metropolitan area; 77.3% assessed the outcomes using a sound criterion; 45.5% compared the values of fluoride measured in the sample and those informed in the label, being noted significant discrepancies. In conclusion, the discrepancy between the found amount and the informed concentration in the label was quite common reinforcing the warnings raised by several researchers. The parameters that define hazard to health and instruct the content of labelling should be revised. There is an important room for improvement of the methodological procedures in further studies. Keywords: fluoride; fluoridation; surveillance; bottled water. ResumoO objetivo foi sumarizar as principais características metodológicas e os principais achados descritos em estudos sobre monitoramento da concentração de fluoreto em água engarrafada publicados em revistas científicas especializadas entre 2008 e 2012, examinando suas implicações para a vigilância em saúde pública. Uma revisão sistemática foi realizada buscando artigos nas bases de dados: Lilacs, PubMed e Scopus. Vinte e dois artigos dos principais continentes do mundo foram incluídos: 68,2% informaram tanto o número de amostras como de marcas recolhidas; 81,8% examinaram produtos coletados em somente uma cidade ou área metropolitana; 77,3% avaliaram os achados usando critério lícito; 45,5% compararam os valores observados na amostra com aqueles informados no rótulo, sendo notadas discrepâncias significativas. A discrepância entre o valor observado e o divulgado no rótulo do produto foi bastante comum, reforçando as advertências reclamadas por vários pesquisadores. Os parâmetros que definem risco para saúde e instruem o conteúdo da rotulagem deveriam ser revisados. Observou-se importante espaço para melhorar os procedimentos metodológicos em futuros estudos. Palavras-chave: fluoreto; fluoretação; vigilância; água engarrafada.
