In recent times, people have become more and more aware of various poisons, and fluoride exposure poisoning is also important to doctors and scholars. Fluoride, although it is needed by the human body, it will be harmful if it is passed.
The cause of fluoride exposure poisoning has come in many ways. Excessive fluoride in drinking water is often the top priority. In remote soil, the water source contains excessive fluoride, and residents drink it every day. Over the years, fluoride toxicity gradually accumulates. Or living near factories and mines, the operation in the factory involves fluoride-containing substances, which escape from the atmosphere, and fluoride enters the body between people's breathing. Furthermore, the abnormal fluoride content in food sources can also cause toxicity.
Its symptoms are numerous. In the case of teeth, the surface of the teeth is chalky at first, followed by macula, even the tooth is brittle, the defect is collapsed, especially in children, this is also the disease of dental fluorosis.

In severe cases, the nervous system, muscles, etc. are also affected, and numbness and weakness of the limbs are seen.
The strategy of preventing fluoride exposure poisoning should be multi-pronged. The treatment of water sources is the first to bear the brunt. Water with high fluoride content can be precipitated and adsorbed to reduce fluoride to an appropriate amount. In factories and mines, it is necessary to strictly control fluoride-containing waste gas and wastewater to ensure that they meet standards and discharge. In addition to diet, attention should also be paid to avoid eating things with excessive fluoride. The public should be aware of the harm of fluoride poisoning, improve their awareness of prevention, and have regular physical examinations for early detection and early treatment. In this way, the risk of fluoride exposure poisoning can be reduced and the health of the people can be guaranteed.
