Does adding fluoride make water a blue green color?
No, adding fluoride to water does not change its color to blue green. Fluoride is usually added in very small amounts to water supplies to help prevent tooth decay, and it should not cause a significant change in the color of the water. If water appears blue green in color, it could be due to other factors such as algae growth or presence of specific minerals.

What is the chemical formula for fluoridated water?
Fluoride water is not a generally used term. We speak of fluoridated water when fluorine compounds are added to water supplies to protect against tooth decay.
