developed by the Missouri Water Resources Research Center (MO WRRC)

Through a grant from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, the Missouri Water Resources Research Center (MOWRRC) has developed an online curriculum to provide drinking water treatment process operators and water administrators with training on community drinking water fluoridation. The goals of the modules are to answer questions and dispel myths about community water fluoridation.

This course consists of the first three modules for water administrators (and a more general audience) and all six modules for water facility operators. Completion of the course modules will allow participants to earn CEU credits.

MO DNR course number 17081079 - 1.0 Water Trt

The six modules include:

Fluoridation Introduction (Module 1 - Fluoridation Introduction Part 1)

Fluoridation Costs/Benefits (Module 2 - Fluoridation Benefits Part 1)

Drinking Water Treatment Overview (Module 3 - Overview of Water Treatment Part 1)

Fluoridation Technology and Equipment (Module 4 - Water Fluoridation Equipment Part 1)

Fluoride Analysis/Laboratory Techniques/Safety (Module 5 - Laboratory Analysis Part 1)

Fluoridation System Design (Module 6 - Fluoridation System Design Part 1)

We anticipate that when participants are finished with these modules, they will

Be able to have informed conversations about community fluoridation.

Understand levels of fluoride commonly found versus levels desired.

Realize that there is no one size fits all fluoridation system.

Be able to identify where in a typical treatment train fluoride is added.
