Abstract

The role of fluoride in dental caries prevention is well-documented. However, excessive fluoride exposure may have detrimental effects on human health. The first overt sign of chronic fluoride overdose is enamel fluorosis. The increasing prevalence of this condition has been observed recently due to widespread use of water fluoridation, dental cavity prevention products, and environmental pollution. Our review provides basic information regarding the sources of fluoride exposure in Poland, with special attention to drinking water as well as current Polish and European Union legislation on drinking water quality. The notion of infant formula reconstituted in fluoridated water as a risk factor for enamel fluorosis development is discussed. The implications of setting the upper limit of fluoride content in the drinking water at 1.5 mg/l were mentioned. The need for increasing knowledge about adverse effects of fluoride as well as the availability of data on fluoride content in the environment is emphasized.

波兰饮用水中的氟化物和氟牙症的可能风险

氟化物在预防龋齿方面的作用有据可查。然而，过量接触氟化物可能对人体健康产生有害影响。慢性氟化物过量的第一个明显迹象是氟牙釉质中毒。由于水氟化、龋齿预防产品的广泛使用和环境污染，最近观察到这种情况的发病率越来越高。我们的审查提供了关于波兰氟化物暴露来源的基本信息，特别关注饮用水以及波兰和欧盟目前关于饮用水质量的立法。讨论了婴儿配方奶粉在含氟水中重组作为氟牙釉质发展的危险因素的概念。提到了将饮用水中氟化物含量上限定为1.5毫克/升的影响。强调有必要增加对氟化物不利影响的了解，并提供关于环境中氟化物含量的数据。

期刊介绍： One of the most important challenges facing the contemporary scientific world are problems connected with environmental protection. Intensive development of industry and agriculture has led to a rise in living standards on one hand, but an increase in environmental degradation on the other. This degradation poses a direct threat to human health and life. Solving these ever-increasing problems which seriously endanger our civilization require the united efforts of scientists and field researchers of many branches. The "Polish Journal of Environmental Studies" publishes original papers and critical reviews on the following subjects: -Basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering -Pollution control of atmospheric, water (marine and fresh), soil and biological materials -Determination of harmful substances, including their metabolic breakdown patterns -Analytical methods for metabolic breakdown patterns or other chemical degradation patterns in the environment and in biological samples -Development of new analytical methods, instruments and techniques for controlling pollutants -Circulation of pollutants in the environment and their effect on living organisms -Environmentally oriented catalysis -Hazards to human health and safety -Waste utilization and management -Land reclamation -Conference reports, scientific and technical reports and book reviews
