This book presents fluoride and fluorocarbon toxicity with respect to remediation and health issues. It covers sources of fluoride and fluorocarbon contamination, its impact on human health, and prospective remediation by multi-disciplinary approaches with the application of recent advanced technology.This book brings together a diverse group of researchers from different disciplines to address the challenges posed by global mass poisoning caused by fluoride and fluorocarbon contamination. The book sheds light on the global environmental issues and proposes solutions to contamination through multi-disciplinary approaches.The book contains three parts. The first part describes the different sources and distribution of fluoride and fluorocarbon in soil and water. The second part explains the health risks linked to fluoride and fluorocarbon toxicity. The third part addresses sustainable fluoride and fluorocarbon toxicity mitigation strategies and the potential applications of recent biotechnology in providing solutions. This book is a valuable resource to students, academics, researchers, and environmental professionals working in the field of fluoride and fluorocarbon contamination.
