Fluorine

What is fluoride? Water fluoridation has always been a hot topic and now it’s at its peak, from debates in the news among congressmen and from state to state. Fluoride is a compound of chemicals that are used to help prevent tooth decay, and can prevent loss of important minerals from the tooth enamel. Many Americans consume fluoride through which can be found in water, soft drinks, and juice. Water fluoridation has been around since the 1940’s, when it was commonly known to be in everyone’s drinking

Truth about Fluoride Objective: To inform my audience about the history, present, and future of fluoride. Central Idea: Fluoride benefits is a lie The ingredient that takes place in our everyday life is fluoride. It is well known for its happy propaganda of everybody needing good health and what better way to start it then with your teeth and make you think fluoride is good for the health, when the reality of the matter is , it damages your health. Hello my name is Frank Gomez and today I will

Fluoride Fluoride happens to be one of the most abundant elements on the earth’s crust, the 13th most abundant in fact. It’s a chemical ion of the fluoride element and has a single extra electron, giving it a negative charge. It’s found naturally in the soil, in our water, our food as well as several other minerals including fluorite. The concentration of fluoride within our seawater would appear to average at around 1.3 parts per million or ppm. In fresh water however it naturally ranges anywhere

Introduction: Community water fluoridation can be defined as the addition of a controlled amount of fluoride to the drinking water supplies in order to prevent dental caries in the community. Fluoride effect on human teeth was noticed at beginning of the 20th century by American dental surgeon Frederick McKay. He noticed the brown stains and discolourations of teeth of many people who live in Colorado springs, USA. the discolored mottled enamel was called (Colorado brown stain). Later called (Enamel

Introduction Fluoride is the ionic form of the element fluorine and is the 13th most abundant element in the earth's crust. Chemically, fluoride is negatively charged and combines with positive ions to form stable compounds such as calcium fluoride or sodium fluoride. Such fluorides are released into the environment naturally in the form of both water and air. Generally, when the term fluoride is mentioned, thoughts associated with calcified tissues (i.e., bones and teeth) are provoked. This is

Fluorine is a nonmetal halogen element located in group 7A on the periodic table. The molecule fluorine contains 2 atoms (F2) to establish an octet using unpaired valence electrons. The element fluorine has the strongest ability to bind to carbon and the most electronegative element of the periodic table (Timberlake, 1999). Because fluorine is so highly electronegative, it’s also highly reactive, has a high electron affinity and will bond strongly to other elements. The halogen will also combine

Fluoride and the brain The fluoride within our drinking water has always been a hot topic for debate. It’s known to cause a number of health problems ranging from lowered thyroid function to cancer. Today we’re going to look at fluoride and the brain specifically. Fluoride damage to the brain happens to be one of the most active areas of research today. In the past thirty years, over one hundred studies that have taken place have found evidence to prove that fluoride exposure can actually damage

Campbell, A. W. (2013). Fluoride: What Are the Facts? Alternative Therapies in Health & Medicine, 19(5), 8-10. This article talks about some facts of water fluoridation. First this article addresses when fluoride was first put into the water and why it was put there. The article explains the health issues that could possibly come from the fluoridation of water. These issues include skeletal fluorosis, kidney disease and dental fluorosis. The article also talks about how the amount of fluoride each

Fluorescein dye has been used for a very long time and it serves many purposes within the lab and in everyday life. As a product fluorescein appears to be a brownish-orange powder solid that appears to be bright, neon green under a UV lamp. Fluorescein, Yellow No.7 dye, is used as a color addictive to food, medications, and beauty products.2 It is also used as a fluorescent tag for labeling antibodies that will be targeting specific areas of a cell1 or identify and locate life threating thrombotic

Introduction AS we are all know public health deals with identifying and preventing the disease among the community . Public health refers to "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals." It is concerned with threats to health based on population health analysis. Some of the events that played a major role in the improvement
