Author: FloraS J S, SrivastavaSakshi

Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
ReviewAn article that critically examines existing research on a particular topic and summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field.

Overview

Fluoride is an essential trace element that can be toxic in excessive amounts. This review focuses on skeletal fluorosis, a condition caused by excessive fluoride intake, and the role of oxidative stress in its development. The review also discusses fluoride mitigation strategies.

Original Abstract of the Article :
When safe and adequate exposure of an essential trace element is exceeded it becomes potentially toxic. Fluoride is one classic example of such a double edged sword which both plays a fundamental role in the normal growth and development of the body for example the consumption of levels between 0.5-...See full text at original site

Fluoride in Drinking Water and Skeletal Fluorosis: A Global Perspective

Think of fluoride like a delicate balance in a desert ecosystem. Too little and certain organisms struggle to thrive, too much and it becomes toxic. This research explores the global impact of fluoride in drinking water, focusing on the development of skeletal fluorosis. The study examines the prevalence of fluorosis worldwide, highlighting its impact on millions of people, particularly in India and other regions of Africa and Asia. The study also discusses fluoride mitigation strategies and emphasizes the need for preventative measures to combat skeletal fluorosis.

Fluorosis: A Global Health Concern Requiring Effective Mitigation Strategies

This study underscores the global health challenge posed by excessive fluoride exposure, particularly through drinking water. The prevalence of skeletal fluorosis in many regions, especially in India and other parts of the world, emphasizes the need for effective mitigation strategies. This research highlights the importance of public health initiatives focused on preventing fluoride toxicity and ensuring access to safe drinking water.

Drinking Water Safety: A Crucial Element of Public Health

Fluoride is an essential mineral but can become toxic when consumed in excess. This study highlights the importance of ensuring safe drinking water supplies, especially in regions where fluoride levels are high. Taking steps to prevent fluoride toxicity, such as using defluoridation techniques, is crucial for protecting public health.

Dr. Camel's Conclusion

This research provides a comprehensive overview of the global impact of fluoride in drinking water, particularly focusing on the development of skeletal fluorosis. The study emphasizes the need for preventive measures, such as fluoride mitigation strategies and ensuring access to safe drinking water, to combat this serious public health concern. By addressing the issue of fluoride toxicity, we can protect public health and ensure a brighter future for communities around the world.
