Opis: Fluoride in Drinking Water - S. Ayoob, A. K. Gupta

Explore the Health Effects of Fluoride Pollution Fluoride in Drinking Water: Status, Issues, and Solutions establishes the negative impacts of naturally occurring fluoride on human health and considers the depth and scope of fluoride pollution on an international scale. The book discusses current global water quality and fluoride-related issues and draws overall awareness to the problems associated with fluoride in drinking water. Utilizing recent scientific studies to examine the current status of fluoride pollution, it provides a fundamental understanding of fluorosis, describes health problems associated with fluorosis, and discusses viable scientific solutions. The book places special emphasis on India, Africa, China, and other countries deeply affected by fluoride pollution. A single, comprehensive source covering health issues related to fluoride and its effect on humans, this book: * Compiles information from scientific literature on the state of fluoride pollution * Characterizes the human impacts of fluorosis * Provides a comparative evaluation of technologies used for defluoridation * Gives a comprehensive account of human health effects with appropriate scientific descriptions and photographs * Includes detailed descriptions on the geochemistry of fluoride entry into groundwater aquifers * Presents a case study that deals with the successful removal of fluoride from drinking water A vital resource for environmental and public health officials as well as academic researchers in the area, Fluoride in Drinking Water: Status, Issues, and Solutions covers human health issues associated with fluoride-rich water and describes relevant techniques for defluoridation that can be used to overcome the stress, issues, and challenges of natural fluoride in drinking water.Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Global Perspective Introduction Drinking-Water Scenario Geogenic Pollutants Fluoride in Humans Genesis of Fluoride in Groundwater Summary References Scenario of Fluoride Pollution Introduction Global Scenario Summary References Dental Fluorosis Introduction Dental Effects of Fluoride Dental Fluorosis: History and Occurrence Development of Dental Fluorosis Summary References Skeletal Fluorosis Introduction Action of Fluoride on Bone Fluoride Exposure Level and Skeletal Fracture Skeletal Fluorosis Fluoride Level and Effects Related to Skeletal Fluorosis Significance of Other Factors Recent Developments Summary References Stress Effects of Fluoride on Humans Introduction Nonskeletal Fluorosis Fluoride and Cancer Fluoride and Gastrointestinal System Other Health Effects Summary References Fluoride in the Environment and Its Toxicological Effects Introduction Sources of Environmental Exposure Environmental Transport, Distribution, and Transformation Environmental Levels and Human Exposure Effects of Fluoride on Laboratory Animals and in vitro Systems Effect of Fluoride on Aquatic Organisms Effect of Fluoride on Plants Effect of Fluoride on Animals Guidelines Values and Standards Summary References Defluoridation Techniques: An Overview Introduction Coagulation Co-precipitation of Fluoride Adsorption Electrochemical Methods Membrane Processes Defluoridation Techniques: A Summary Summary References Adsorptive Removal of Fluoride: A Case Study Introduction Materials and Methods Batch Studies Theoretical and Mathematical Formulations Results and Discussions Summary of the Case Study Conclusions of the Case Study References
