    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Environmental Health
    • Occupational Medicine

    Background:

    • Chronic fluoride poisoning was initially described in 1954.
    • The condition presented with multisymptomatic clinical features but no skeletal changes.

    Observation:

    • The nonskeletal phase of fluoride poisoning has been confirmed from various sources.
    • Sources include artificially fluoridated water, industrial fluoride in air (factory workers, nearby residents), and fluoride-containing drugs.

    Findings:

    • This research details the nonskeletal phase of chronic fluoride poisoning.
    • The fluoride ion's reactivity is a key factor in its toxic effects.

    Implications:

    • Expanding industrial and dietary use of fluoride necessitates further investigation.
  • Findings suggest fluoride may be an etiological factor in unexplained illnesses.
