 Acute fluoride poisoning in a New Mexico elementary school
Fluoride levels in both samples were extremely high - 375 ppm in the sample from building A and 93.5 ppm in the sample from building B. The fluoridator pump was turned off immediately after results of the tests were received.
This is the third reported outbreak of acute fluoride poisoning caused by excess concentrations of fluoride in drinking water.
The lack of fatalities suggests that the strange and unpleasant taste of water with a high fluoride concentration may function as a deterrent of water consumption, thereby reducing the quantity of fluoride ingested.

 Fluoride tablet poisoning - Jason Burton (2) dies
5 - 10 g of fluoride are commonly considered to comprise the acute lethal dose; the child in question had received less than 50 mg, which suggests an enormous difference between the supposed and actual lethal dose, even allowing for the age of the victim.
It is true that the mother had received fluoride during pregnancy and that the child had received 0.5 mg daily for 15 months before the incident occurred but one must wonder whether the chronic load could have been sufficient to lower the acute lethal dose so drastically.
A spokesman for the Queensland Justice Department confirmed that Jason´s death was caused by fluoride poisoning.

 Fluoride tablet poisoning in Austria: Daniel Huala died
Postmortem analyses showed elevated fluoride concentrations in the blood (1.5 ppm), kidney (3.7 ppm), and liver (4.35 ppm).
In court, however, he was acquitted and the case dismissed because he had promptly consulted the Poison Control Centre of Vienna who had advised him that the ingestion of 50 fluoride tablets would not pose any danger to life and therefore there was no need for hospitalization.
Korninger, supported Dr. Weichselbaumer´s defense and stated that, according to his perusal of the medical literature, the amount of fluoride in 50 tablets would not be lethal to a small child.
