1. Introduction Aluminium (Al) is a major element of soil, and it turns into toxic forms when expose to acidic condition. Al3+ ions are released from clay minerals in acidic soils, which in turn inhibit root growth and reduce crop yields. It is reported that approximately 40–50% potentially arable lands are acidic in the world (Von Uexküll and Mutert, 1995). Root is very sensitive to Al3+ toxicity and root meristem is the primary site of Al toxicity (Ryan et al., 1993). Root growth in wheat

Effect of Endemic Fluorosis on Cognitive Function of School Children in Alappuzha District, Kerala: A Cross Sectional Study.

November 6, 2020 | Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology | Prabhakar A, Abdulkhayarkutty K, Cheruvallil SV, Sudhakaran P. | 24(5):715-720.
... 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 to excess fluoride. The neuropsychometric tests performed to assess the cognitive function were Raven’s SPM and MISIC digit span subtest whic
