Abstract
Fluorides are usually found in nature as constituents of soils, water, and the tissues of animals. Fluorite or fluorspar (CaF2), cryolite (Na3AlF6), apatite (3 Ca3 (PO4)2 CaF2) and sedimentary phosphate rocks are among the principle minerals containing fluorides found in nature. Traces of fluorides also occur in domestic water supplies in nature and also by induction in vegetation and animal feeds. From 0.5 ppm to 1.5 ppm of fluorides in drinking water is the range found to be beneficial in reducing the incidence of tooth decay in man. In animals, receiving abnormally elevated intakes of fluorides for a relatively short time or from sustained ingestion of small quantities over long periods, interference with normal life processes with resultant impaired performance or utility has been reported.
