ROLE OF FLUORINE IN THE OCCURRENCE OF PATHOLOGICAL PROCESSES AND ITS PRESENCE IN ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTS

Abstract

The review presents the results of studies by many authors on the existing problems associated with the intake of fluorides into the human body. This is due to their natural air content, the soil, water and food, as well as, technogenic pollution, which has significant variability, concerning the significant fluctuations in the fluorides concentration. A successful solution to the fluoride deficiency conditions is the implementation of preventive measures, which include fluorination of drinking water and food. To solve this problem, it is important to control the amount of fluoride entering the human body, determine its safe content in specialized food products and the frequency of their use.
