 Interventions for Micronutrient Malnutrition

Fluorosis is a crippling disorder/condition

known to occur due to entry of fluoride to the body.

Fluoride ,when ingested beyond the limit of tolerance of the human body
may cause
three types of Fluorosis:
Dental Fluorosis ( Affecting Teeth )
Non Skeleton Fluorosis ( Affecting Soft Tissues )
Skeleton Fluorosis ( Affecting Bones )

Fluorosis is considered ,to be caused only by drinking fluoride contaminated water. It is now evident that Fluorosis is
also caused by consuming fluoride contaminated food,drugs ,using cosmetics and also by inhaling fluoride
contaminated dust and fumes from industry.
