Türkiye'de Florozis Sorunu ve Florun Biyokimyasal Etkileşimi

Abstract

Fluorine is a highly reactive chemical element. This element is present in soil, rock, clay, coal, water and air as ions and compounds. Organic fluorides are being used in the production of surfactant, fibers, membrane, pesticide, fungicide, uranium, drug, tomographic imaging agent and dentifrice. In various studies carried out in our country, natural and industrial fluorosis and fluoride-induced biochemical changes in animals were studied. In our country, Muǧla, Eskişehir, Kirşehir, Çorum, Ankara, Konya, Hatay, Van and Aǧri cities and water, soil, plant sheep urine, tooth and bone materials examined for fluor amount despite the long work done over the years, some of the effects of fluoride on the body is still not fully explained. Therefore, to be useful to make a compilation about the characteristics of fluorine, and its' presence in the nature, and its' biodynamics and effects in the body, was thought.
