Water-related diseases

Fluorosis

The disease and how it affects people

Ingestion of excess fluoride, most commonly in drinking-water, can cause fluorosis which affects the teeth and bones. Moderate amounts lead to dental effects, but long-term ingestion of large amounts can lead to potentially severe skeletal problems. Paradoxically, low levels of fluoride intake help to prevent dental caries. The control of drinking-water quality is therefore critical in preventing fluorosis. The condition and its effect on people Fluorosis is caused by excessive intake of fluoride. The dental effects of fluorosis develop much earlier than the skeletal effects in people exposed to large amounts of fluoride. Clinical dental fluorosis is characterized by staining and pitting of the teeth. In more severe cases all the enamel may be damaged. However, fluoride may not be the only cause of dental enamel defects. Enamel opacities similar to dental fluorosis are associated with other conditions, such as malnutrition with deficiency of vitamins D and A or a low protein-energy diet. Ingestion of fluoride after six years of age will not cause dental fluorosis.

Chronic high-level exposure to fluoride can lead to skeletal fluorosis. In skeletal fluorosis, fluoride accumulates in the bone progressively over many years. The early symptoms of skeletal fluorosis, include stiffness and pain in the joints. In severe cases, the bone structure may change and ligaments may calcify, with resulting impairment of muscles and pain.

Acute high-level exposure to fluoride causes immediate effects of abdominal pain, excessive saliva, nausea and vomiting. Seizures and muscle spasms may also occur.

The cause

Acute high-level exposure to fluoride is rare and usually due to accidental contamination of drinking-water or due to fires or explosions. Moderate-level chronic exposure (above 1.5 mg/litre of water - the WHO guideline value for fluoride in water) is more common. People affected by fluorosis are often exposed to multiple sources of fluoride, such as in food, water, air (due to gaseous industrial waste), and excessive use of toothpaste. However, drinking water is typically the most significant source. A person's diet, general state of health as well as the body's ability to dispose of fluoride all affect how the exposure to fluoride manifests itself.

Distribution

Fluoride in water is mostly of geological origin. Waters with high levels of fluoride content are mostly found at the foot of high mountains and in areas where the sea has made geological deposits. Known fluoride belts on land include: one that stretches from Syria through Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Sudan and Kenya, and another that stretches from Turkey through Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, India, northern Thailand and China. There are similar belts in the Americas and Japan. In these areas fluorosis has been reported.

Scope of the Problem

The prevalence of dental and skeletal fluorosis is not entirely clear. It is believed that fluorosis affects millions of people around the world, but as regards dental fluorosis the very mild or mild forms are the most frequent.

Interventions

Removal of excessive fluoride from drinking-water is difficult and expensive. The preferred option is to find a supply of safe drinking-water with safe fluoride levels. Where access to safe water is already limited, de-fluoridation may be the only solution. Methods include: use of bone charcoal, contact precipitation, use of Nalgonda or activated alumina (Nalgonda is called after the town in South India, near Hyderabad, where the aluminium sulfate-based defluoridation was first set up at a water works level). Since all methods produce a sludge with very high concentration of fluoride that has to be disposed of, only water for drinking and cooking purposes should be treated, particularly in the developing countries.

Health education regarding appropriate use of fluorides.

Mothers in affected areas should be encouraged to breastfeed since breast milk is usually low in fluoride.

"I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes, hate in my heart, love in my mind."~Weezy- I couldn't have said it better myself

On what planet can you give a group the monopoly on violence&money printing&expect a piece of paper to stop them from abusing their power?

Is morality objective or subjective?Either way what is the justification for an involuntary coercive government when its immoral altogether?

Judging by the rate of snowfall and the sticking factor I would highly doubt if ETSU is open today but then again it is ETSU. end the state?

#irefuseto accept that liberty is something given to me when i pledge allegiance to something or someone when my existence should be enough.

I feel explosively ferocious at the moment after giving an excellent rant on the stupidity of red light scameras! It feels grrrrrreat!

State,I hereby revoke your false hold on reality.You may leave now please.Much love and peace!

A definite evening of debauchery in the late night study.

The"state"is not the enemy!YOU are the enemy.Without you the state has ZERO power!It is by your compliance that it has power! #endthestate

NO NOT the deep liberty massage again!Anything but that,it mentally hurts!Instead I shall take the liberty surprise or the liberty sandwich!

I can handle pigs whether cops or the flu now that I gladly am over the swine flu.Now to end the state so my life would really be swell!

Crispy midgets sloppily dipped into warm gooey sauces make for strange statuses.Good thing I don't do that.

I am done with this swine flu sickness. Please go now thanks.

Nothing like one day a year to have peace on earth and good will toward men.Makes sense to hold back¬ make it standard all year round.Lol

"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word." MLK Jr. Take that to heart supporters of the state.

The only good part of snow is when it melts.

I am pro-choice.I say abort the government&give humanity a chance to live& progress!This is the way to put responsibility where it belongs.

Rights for are best actualized through the governments immediate and forever removal.

So I realize the only way to save healthcare as a right for all is to remove the government completely. I mean the government cease to exist

I was in the military to have extra credit points for not standing during the pledge of tyranny.Silly people only free when the state says.

Elect me and I will do whatever I, oops meant to say you,desire. I will do everything with your best interest in mind. Haha jjokes on you!

The only truly respectable government is the one that ceases to exist.

My final was just ad hoc on how i think anarchy works and I believe I confused everyone. I swear anarchy works!

Fuck snow for real
