THE safety of life is unimaginable without the purity of the environment and both the government and the people will have to take it very seriously. The rapid increase in pollution, accelerated exploitation of natural resources, industrialisation and unchecked use of chemicals and pesticides lead to certain disorders. Among various nutritional disorders,fluoride contamination and pollution are posing a serious menace in several parts of the country. But the magnitude of the problem is not really known.
This book is an effort in the direction to bring together information on excess fluoride intake as described in the literature on the subject and the methods developedby different workers that could prove highly effective in controlling the disease. It also incorporates detailed reviews, giving exhaustive information on the prevalence, clinical features and dietary impact on the occurrence of fluorosis. Awareness of population, impact of duration of exposure to high fluoridecontaining water, effect of food consumption pattern and efficiency of domestic methods of defluoridation are very well explained.
This book will prove useful not only to students of home science but also to environmental engineers, nutritionists, medical and public health practitioners, civil and chemical engineers and policy makers.
