- Abstract
This work presents an overview of fluoride distribution in the environment and negative impact of fluoride to humans and plants generally. Fluoride is one of the most widespread environmental pollutants. It is the most chemically active non-metallic element and the most reactive electro-negative ion. It can easily accumulate in plants, bones of animals and human and consequently it can cause health issues related to fluorosis and osteoporosis. More than 200 million people, from 25 nations, are suffering from fluorosis. This article therefore highlights the many factors which influence the effect of fluoride on animals and humans, and many avenues by which fluoride can enter biological organisms.
