Fluorides in the human bones – selected issues

Abstract


Long -term intake of fluoride leads to skeletal fluorosis. The toxicity of fluoride, not only for the human body, but also the entire ecosystem makes it necessary to constantly monitor their content in the environment. Accordingly, there is a need to control the level of fluorides (F⁻) in humans, particularly in bone tissue, which reflects long-term accumulation of these compounds. The aim of the study was to determine the concentration of fluoride in the human bones depending on biological factors and environmental conditions on the basis of the published literature. Given the importance of bone tissue as the main reservoir of fluoride ions is an important issue to continue to monitor the concentration of F⁻ in this tissue, particularly for people living in the polluted environment fluorine compounds. There are numerous works on concentrations of this element in human bones in world literature which proves the great interest in the subject. It should be underlined the need for further study of this issue for people living in different regions of Poland.
