WHAT IS FLUORIDE Fluorine is the an element (F-) In nature it is not available as fluorine ,it is an strong oxidizing agent and
always found in compound form with other element. Inorganic fluorine containing compounds are called fluorides. Inorganic chemicals : Cryolite (Na3AlF6) Sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) Sulfur hexafluoride Organic chemicals : Organofluorine polytetrafluorethylene(Teflon) polychlorotrifluoroethylene (moisture barriers), Efavirenz (pharmaceutical used for treatment of HIV)
fluoxetine (an antidepressant) 5-fluorouracil(an anticancer drug), hydrochlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorcarbons (refrigerants, blowing agents and propellants).
Fluoride is usually found naturally in low concentration in drinking water and In foods

WHAT IS FLUOROSIS Fluorosis is a slow, progressive and crippling malady affecting
most of the organs in the body where fluoride in drinking water is > 1.5 ppm (WHO)
BIS=1.0 ppm (We follow BIS) Fluorosis is a crippling Disease Slow –Progressive -Cripple Affect all age. Health Complain-Overlapping many diseaseImpact depends on
a. Ageb. Hormonal Statusc. Nutritional Statusd. Efficiency of Kidney
Fluorosis is three types: 1) Dental Fluorosis 2) Skeletal Fluorosis
3) Non Skeletal Fluorosis

FLUOROSIS: IMPACT ON HEALTH
Types of Fluorosis
Dental Skeletal Non skeletal
Affection starts mostly when fluoride level is 3to 8 Mg/Lit in drinking water
![Page 11: fluorosis 08.11.13](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062503/588959f31a28abef658b568b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Dental fluorosis Normal:The enamel surface is smooth, glossy and usually a pale creamy white in color.
Mild: The white opacity of the enamel of the teeth is more extensive, but covers less than 50% of the tooth surface .
![Page 12: fluorosis 08.11.13](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062503/588959f31a28abef658b568b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Moderate:The enamel surface of the teeth shows marked wear and tear with brown stain and is frequently a disfiguring feature .
Severe: The enamel surface is badly affected and hypoplasia is so marked that the general form of the tooth may be affected. There are pitted/worn out areas and widespread brownish discoloration with the teeth often having a corroded appearance.
![Page 13: fluorosis 08.11.13](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062503/588959f31a28abef658b568b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Genu valgum (KNOCK KNEES) Legs are bowed inwards in the standing position. The bowing usually occurs at or around the knee, and when standing with knees together, the feet are far apart.
Genu VarumLegs are bowed outwards in the standing position. The bowing usually occurs at or around the knee. When standing with the feet together, the knees remains far apart.
Types of skeletal fluorosis

Tingling sensation in fingers and toesExcessive thirstPolydypsia and polyureaNervousness & Depression
Non Skeletal Manifestation
![Page 15: fluorosis 08.11.13](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062503/588959f31a28abef658b568b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Fluorosis: Adverse Health Affect & its causes
1. Patient complain fatigue / Weakness due to destruction of muscle structure by fluoride decomposition in muscle
2. Patient complain tiredness ,unenthusiastic and a feelings of depression due to destroying RBC resulting anemia and eventually depression.
3. Stomach & intestine inner mucosal membrane destroy by decomposition of fluoride resulting the GI mucosal destruction.
4. Ant- diuretic hormone and kidney disfunction cause polydipsia & polyurea
5. A female patient complain of repeated miscarriage / still birth due to deposition of fluoride - foetal blood vessel blocking.
6. Anemia patient complain of not being able to conceive due to husband sperm count is being low (Oligospermia) / non (azospermia) and blunt end of sperm

Fluorosis Diagnostic TestIn Adult :
Fluoride to be tested in Drinking Water ( to collect in plastic bottle only )Blood (Serum) [ fasting not required] Urine (spot urine sample)
Confirmative Test:
Radiograph of the fore-arm Hemoglobin
In Children:
Fluoride in the drinking water of the child / OR if an infant or new born.
Fluoride in the drinking water of the mother.
Blood (serum) of the child; if an infant or new born, the blood serum of the mother.
Urine of the child / infant.Additional Tests:Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)Iodine in urineThyroid hormone levels T3 and T4

INTERVENTION -2 Take Proper Nutrition and Diet1. Green Vegetable should be taken in large amount 2. Carrot and Tomato are the main source of antioxidant
.3. Milk and Small –fish are the rich source of Calcium.

ULTIMATE GOAL To provide safe house hold water to every
citizen of Fluoride affected areas of Bankura, a constant pursuance is planned to be under taken through “Intersectoral co-ordination” with the NGOs, General Administration, PRIs, PHED and related agencies.
And get rid of Fluorosis……by 2015!
