Assessment of groundwater quality and associated health risk in the arid environment, Western Saudi Arabia.
Abstract Groundwater quality and associated health risk in the arid environment, Rabigh basin, Western Saudi Arabia, was assessed using an integrated approach namely groundwater suitability zone (GWSZ) maps, drinking water quality index (DWQI), irrigation water quality (IWQ) parameters, irrigation water quality index (IWQI), chronic daily index (CDI), and hazard quotient (HQ). Groundwater samples were collected […]

Excessive ER stress and the resulting autophagic flux dysfunction contribute to fluoride-induced neurotoxicity.
from 4. Discussion … In order to gain a better understanding of the NaF neurotoxicity and its underlying mechanisms, the NaF-treated rats and SH-SY5Y cells were used in the present study. The MWM [Morris water maze test] results showed that exposure of rats to NaF is associated with decreased learning and memory abilities. This is […]

Cauvery row shows why India needs a low-water economy
All over the country, every day, there are a million conflicts around water, right from the jostling over the local tap to the sharing of big rivers. Once in a while, one spills from the courts into the streets and, amplified by media, flows across the troubled conscience of the nation. The Cauvery dispute is […]

Ecological Russian Roulette
NADVOITSY, Russia – The children of this town learn early not to smile. When they do, they show a ghastly array of blackened, splintered, rotting stumps where milk-white teeth might have been. An environmental plague has struck this northern land of lakes, no longer pristine, and thinning pine forests. The children of Nadvoitsy are its […]

Environmental and anthropogenic influences on ambient background concentrations of fluoride in soil
Highlights • Mineralogy, precipitation and weathering influence background soil fluoride. • Geochemical regression tree models can predict background fluoride in soil. • Fluoride in subsurface soils exceeded recommended ecological risk thresholds. • Phosphate fertiliser indicated to be a potential source of added fluoride to soils. Abstract Excess exposure to fluoride causes substantive health burden in […]

A holistic study on fluoride-contaminated groundwater models and its widespread effects in healthcare and irrigation
Abstract Groundwater is a key resource in the world. Its importance is often undermined, despite the various applications which include irrigation, drinking, sanitation, and industrial uses. One of the contaminants of groundwater is fluoride or the fluorine ion. Fluoride is a common pollutant of water, carrying potential benefits and costs to various sectors. Fluoride contamination […]

Hydogen Fluoride – EPA 2000
HYDROFLUORIC ACID(a) 7664-39-3 Hazard Summary-Created in April 1992; Revised in January 2000 Hydrogen fluoride is used in the production of aluminum and chlorofluorocarbons, and in the glass etching and chemical industries. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure to gaseous hydrogen fluoride can cause severe respiratory damage in humans, including severe irritation and pulmonary edema. Severe […]
