Effect of Endemic Fluorosis on Cognitive Function of School Children in Alappuzha District, Kerala: A Cross Sectional Study.
… To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study conducted in Kerala to study the association between fluorosis and cognitive function. The children enrolled in the fluorosis group were those with dental fluorosis, confirmed by urine fluoride testing, further their drinking water was also tested for high fluoride level which establishes exposure […]

Prospects for the Role of Ferroptosis in Fluorosis.
As a strong oxidant, fluorine can induce oxidative stress resulting in cellular damage. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent type of cell death caused by unrestricted lipid peroxidation (LPO) and subsequent plasma membrane rupture. This article indicated a relationship between fluorosis and ferroptosis. Evidence of the depletion of glutathione (GSH) and increased oxidized GSH can be found […]

Association between fluoride exposure and kidney function in adults: A cross-sectional study based on endemic fluorosis area in China.
4. Discussion We examined the relationship between urinary fluoride concentrations and levels of markers of kidney function (urinary NAG, serum RBP, serum Urea, serum C3 serum UA and serum ?1-MG) in a cross-sectional study of endemic fluorosis in China. We found that the levels of urinary NAG and serum Urea increased significantly with the increase […]

Endemic fluorosis with neurological complications in a Hampshire man.
We describe below a case of skeletal fluorosis occurring in a Hampshire man who presented with neurological complications, and whose condition was appreciably improved by operation. We believe that this is the first case of its kind to be reported from Britain, and also the first case of skeletal fluorosis with neurological involvement in which […]

Environmental Fluoride 1977 by Rose & Marier
The Associate Committee on Scientific Criteria for Environmental Quality was established by the National Research Council of Canada in response to a mandate provided by the Federal Government to develop scientific guidelines for defining the quality of the environment. The concern of the NRC Associate Committee is strictly with scientific criteria. Pollution standards and objectives […]
