Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people associate fluoride with the practice of intentionally adding fluoride to public drinking water supplies for the prevention of tooth decay. However, fluoride can also enter public water systems from natural sources, including runoff from the weathering of fluoride-containing rocks and soils and leaching from soil into groundwater. Fluoride pollution from various industrial emissions can also contaminate water supplies. In a few areas of the United States fluoride concentrations in water are much higher than normal, mostly from natural sources. Fluoride is one of the drinking water contaminants regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because it can occur at these toxic levels. In 1986, the EPA established a maximum allowable concentration for fluoride in drinking water of 4 milligrams per liter, a guideline designed to prevent the public from being exposed to harmful levels of fluoride. Fluoride in Drinking Water reviews research on various health effects from exposure to fluoride, including studies conducted in the last 10 years.

This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Toxicology Program (NTP) conducted a systematic review of the evidence of adverse neurodevelopmental and cognitive effects of fluoride exposure. NTP's conclusions are summarized in the monograph Systematic Review of Fluoride Exposure and Neurodevelopmental and Cognitive Health Effects. At the request of NTP, a committee convened by the National Academies reviewed their monograph to ensure the integrity of that report. It is important to note that the committee was tasked with reviewing the monograph and focused its efforts on evaluating whether evidence as presented in the monograph supported NTP's conclusions. Thus, it did not conduct its own independent evaluation of the evidence, and it did not conduct a data audit. However, it did review some key literature to enable its review of the monograph. Review of the Draft NTP Monograph contains findings and suggestions for improvements and some overarching findings concerning methods, assessment of animal and human evidence, and NTP's hazard conclusion.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dental fluorosis refers to changes in the appearance of tooth enamel that are caused by long-term ingestion of fluoride during the time teeth are forming. Studies conducted in the 1930s showed that the severity of tooth decay was lower and dental fluorosis was higher in areas with more fluoride in the drinking water. In response to these findings, community water fluoridation programs were developed to add fluoride to drinking water to reach an optimal level for preventing tooth decay, while limiting the chance of developing dental fluorosis. By the 1980s, studies in selected U.S. communities reported an increase in dental fluorosis, paralleling the expansion of water fluoridation and the increased availability of other sources of ingested fluoride, such as fluoride toothpaste (if swallowed) and fluoride supplements. This report describes the prevalence of dental fluorosis in the United States and changes in the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis among adolescents between 1986-1987 and 1999-2004. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2004 and the 1986-1987 National Survey of Oral Health in U.S. School Children." - p. 1.

Download or read book Fluoride And Fluorosis Interaction Symptoms Prevalence And Mitigation written by Arjun L Khandare and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-15 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the pioneering research in fluorosis has been undertaken at ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad in the year 1937, the first case of fluorosis was identified in cattle in Kanagiri, Prakasam district, Andhra Pradesh. Since then, the fluoride and fluorosis research is being continued at ICMR-National Institute of Nutrition. Fluorosis is a disease that is caused due to excess fluoride in drinking and cooking water which can be easily prevented by safe drinking water. The non-availability of a book in layman's language consisting of various research papers/articles on fluorosis and related areas inspired the author to compile his 25 years of research findings in a simple language that can easily be understood by the common people. The book has covered 20 chapters in various thematic areas like epidemiological studies, basic research (animals), applied research in humans, mechanistic studies, fluorosis mitigation, education and training, and dissemination of knowledge. The epidemiological studies, studies were conducted in 5 districts of Tamil Nadu, Nellore and Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh, Nalgonda district of Telangana, Doda district of Jammu, and Kashmir, Nawada district of Bihar, and KarbiAnglong of Assam. These studies were conducted to understand the prevalence and severity of disease, its etiology, and various dietary factors including environmental factors which enhance or reduce the burden of fluoride toxicity in the study areas. The basic studies have been conducted in animal models/species (dog, guinea pig, rabbit, and rat) to understand organ toxicity, various biomarkers, and toxicokinetics of fluoride toxicity and its mitigation by tamarind. The efficacy of mitigation of fluoride toxicity by tamarind pulp was evaluated in humans in the field set up. Whereas, the mechanistic studies related to the enhanced excretion of fluoride through urine and reduced deposition in bone by tamarind intervention were assessed in laboratory conditions in rats, which has been also supported by the insilico studies. As of now, no medicine is available to treat fluorosis; hence, the dietary intervention to mitigate fluorosis has been a challenging area to study. Our basic and translational studies using tamarind to mitigate fluorosis were the aim of the author's research. The research conducted by the author has great potential for further dissemination of knowledge in the area of fluorosis and fluoride research. The knowledge was disseminated in the form of training programs to the health functionaries of the affected districts of the country under the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Fluorosis, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. In the capacity of the President for the International Society for Fluoride Research, the author had successfully conducted XXXIII Conference of the International Society for Fluoride Research through which the importance of fluoride research was disseminated globally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollution and ways to combat it have become topics of great concern for researchers. One of the most important dimensions of this global crisis is wastewater, which can often become contaminated with heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, which are released from different industrial wastes, mines, and agricultural runoff. Bioremediation of such heavy metals has been extensively studied using different groups of bacteria, fungi, and algae, and has been considered as a safer, eco-friendly, and cost-effective option for mitigation of contaminated wasteland. The toxicity of water impacts all of society, and so it is of great importance that we understand the better, cleaner, and more efficient ways of treating water. Recent Advancements in Bioremediation of Metal Contaminants is a pivotal reference source that explores bioremediation of pollutants from industrial wastes and examines the role of diverse forms of microbes in bioremediation of wastewater. Covering a broad range of topics including microorganism tolerance, phytoremediation, and fungi, the role of different extremophiles and biofilms in bioremediation are also discussed. This book is ideally designed for environmentalists, engineers, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and students in the fields of microbiology, toxicology, environmental chemistry, and soil and water science.
