Incidence of simple goiter in areas of endemic fluorosis in Nalgonda District, Andra Pradesh, India
With regard to the slight and temporary enlargement of the thyroid encountered in the age group 14-17 (type b), detailed scrutiny of the data . . . reveals that with a fall in mean fluorine content of the water from 10.7 mg/l in Kamaguda to 5.4 mg/l in Yellareddyguda, there was a corresponding progressive fall […]

Over 8 million Ethiopians at risk from fluoride concentrations
Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) An estimated 8.5 million people, or 11% of the population of Ethiopia, are at risk from high concentrations of fluoride in water used for domestic consumption. When consumed in high concentrations fluoride is toxic and spoils the natural colour and texture of teeth, said Dr. Berhanu Gizaw, a geological survey expert at […]

X-ray diagnosis of fluorine-associated arthropathy
I. Pathological basis and X-ray signs of fluorine-associated arthropathy Long-term uptake of excessive fluorine may cause pathological changes of bone structure and bone periphery; furthermore, animal experiments and epidemiological investigations demonstrate that fluorosis may cause necrosis, degeneration and ulceration of articular cartilage, and also cause necrosis of subchondral bones, leading to hypertrophy of synovium and […]
