Assessing Fluorosis Incidence in Areas with Low Fluoride Content in the Drinking Water, Fluorotic Enamel Architecture, and Composition Alterations.

June 10, 2022 | International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health | Struzycka I, Olszewska A, Boguslawska-Kapala A, Hryhorowicz S, Kaczmarek-Rys M, Grabarek BO, Staszkiewicz R, Kuciel-Polczak I, Czajka-Jakubowska A. | 19(12):7153.
... The substantial increase in fluorosis observed in recent years is associated with the emergence of many additional, essential sources of fluoride, which influence the human body [39,49]. Some authors believe that the introduction of brushing with fluoride toothpaste on a widespread and daily basis was the main factor behind the increased prevalence of this disorder. The lack of adult supervision of children when brushing their teeth with fluoride toothpaste and the excessive use and even swa

Metabolome and transcriptome analyses of plants grown in naturally attenuated soil after hydrogen fluoride exposure.

June 8, 2022 | Journal of Hazardous Materials | Jo J, Lee J, Ahn Y, Hwang YS, Park J, Lee J, Choi J. | 437:129323.
... Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is a colorless gas or liquid that is frequently used to remove impurities from semiconductors and other electronic products. It is also among the most dangerous inorganic acids, as accidental release of HF causes very serious environmental problems not only through underground leakage of liquid chemicals spreading along underground plumes, but also by leakage of aerosols propagating through the air current. Additionally, HF release can harm human health by damaging th

Fluoride Content of Matcha Tea Depending on Leaf Harvest Time and Brewing Conditions.

June 20, 2022 | Nutrients | Jakubczyk K, Ligenza A, Gutowska I, Janda-Milczarek K. | 14(12):2550.
4. Conclusions Our study showed that the harvesting date for matcha tea leaves was shown to have a significant effect on the fluoride content of the dried tea (traditional vs. daily). Matcha daily (from the second and third harvest) had a significantly higher concentration of fluoride. In the case of matcha tea, the temperature of the water used to prepare the infusions also had a significant effect on the fluoride content of the beverage. An analysis of the results showed that the higher
