1. What is the primary purpose of the filtration process in water treatment?
To add chemicals for disinfection
To remove small insoluble particles
To increase the water temperature
To reduce the water's pH level
2. Explain how fluoridation contributes to dental health and why it is a topic
of debate.
Fluoridation strengthens enamel, but some argue it may lead to
health risks.
Fluoridation eliminates all dental diseases, making it universally
accepted.
Fluoridation is only beneficial for children, leading to its limited use.
Fluoridation has no impact on dental health, which is why it is
debated.
3. Dental fluorosis is caused by:
Excessive fluoride intake during adulthood
Excessive fluoride intake during childhood
Excessive fluoride intake during adolescence
Excessive intake in water supply
,4. What is filtration?
Impure water passes through materials with different pore sizes
Adding aluminum which precipitates certain materials
, Allows precipitate to settle out
Water passes through layers of sand to remove anaerobic bacteria
5. Which of the following processes is NOT involved in the treatment of
public water supplies?
Sedimentation
Filtration
Chlorination
Evaporation
6. If a local authority decides to stop fluoridating its water supply, what
potential public health implications could arise from this decision?
An increase in tooth decay rates among the population
A decrease in the cost of water treatment
An improvement in overall dental health
A reduction in the risk of fluorosis
7. The purpose for fluoridating municipal water supplies is to
disinfect the water.
help improve the taste of the water.
help prevent dental decay.
remove iron
8. Desalination of seawater to produce freshwater has not been adopted on
a large scale because:
