On the Hazards of Fluoride

People in the world often hear the name of fluoride, but its hazards are poorly understood. Let's try it today to understand its dangers.

Fluoride, although it has some functions in industry, medicine and other fields, its potential danger cannot be ignored. Looking at nature, an appropriate amount of fluoride may help the teeth to be firm, but if it is too much, it will be very harmful.

If fluoride enters the body in excess, it will first harm the teeth. Teeth are tools for human eating, which are related to appearance and health. Excessive fluoride accumulation in the teeth can cause fluorosis, mottled teeth, uneven color, damage their appearance, and the texture becomes brittle, easy to fold and eat. Furthermore, it can involve the bones. Bones are the scaffolds of humans. If fluoride invades, the metabolism of bones will be disordered, the bone will gradually thicken, and even deform, and people will be unable to move and suffer.

Furthermore, the harm of fluoride to the environment should not be underestimated. It is scattered in the air, soil, and water sources, polluting all directions. Plants are harmed by it, growth is blocked, leaf color is abnormal, and vitality is gradually lost. Animals drink fluoride-containing water, eat fluoride-contaminated plants, and fluoride-polymers in their bodies are also affected by diseases, and population growth is threatened.

As for industrial production, the discharge of fluoride-containing waste gas, wastewater, and waste residue is the source of disaster. Waste gas rises in the air, causing acid rain damage and deforestation; wastewater enters rivers, sewage sources, aquatic organisms are difficult to survive; waste residue is discarded on the ground, fluoride seeps into the soil, and the soil will lose its strength over time.

Therefore, although fluoride has its uses, its harm is extensive and deep, and it is a hidden danger to the human body, all living things, and the natural environment. The world should treat it with care, control it scientifically, and prevent it from wreaking havoc, so as to ensure the health of the world and harmony between heaven and earth.
