A comprehensive review of human health risks of arsenic and fluoride contamination of groundwater in the South Asia region
J Water Health. 2024 Feb;22(2):235-267. doi: 10.2166/wh.2023.082.ABSTRACTThe present study found that ∼80 million people in India, ∼60 million people in Pakistan, ∼70 million people in Bangladesh, and ∼3 million people in Nepal are exposed to arsenic groundwater contamination above 10 μg/L, while Sri Lanka remains moderately affected. In the case of fluoride contamination, ∼120 million in India, >2 million in Pakistan, and ∼0.5 million in Sri Lanka are exposed to the risk of fluoride above 1.5 mg/L, while Bangladesh and Nepal are mildly affected. The hazard quotient (HQ) for arsenic varied from 0 to 822 in ...

Risk factors for dental caries: A case study in peatlands and non-peatlands of West Kalimantan, Indonesia
The objective was to analyse risk factors for dental caries in communities living in peatlands and non-peatlands in West Kalimantan. The research is a causal comparative study with cross-sectional approach. The samples were chosen by purposive sampling technique among adolescents aged 17-27 years, who were domiciled in Pontianak City (peatland) and Bengkayang (non-peatland) all their lives. The results showed that dental caries is significantly correlated with debris in peatlands (rs = 0.289). On non-peatlands, dental caries is correlated with drinking water phosphate (rs = 0.313) and calculus (rs = 0.034). In West Kaliman...

Uncovering nano-bonechar for attenuating fluoride in naturally contaminated soil
In this study, a novel carbonaceous material, nano-bonechar was synthesized from cow bones and applied as a soil amendment at rates of 0, 0.5, 1, and 2% to remediate and revitalize naturally F--contaminated soil. The results revealed that the nano-bonechar significantly reduced the mobility and bioavailability of F- by 90% in the contaminated soil, and improved the soil quality by increasing the soil water holding capacity, soil organic matter, and the bioavailable contents of PO43-, Ca2+, and Na+. Subsequently, the pot experiment results showed a significant reduction in the uptake of F- by 93% in Zea mays plants. Moreove...

Role of SIRT1 in Potentially Toxic Trace Elements (Lead, Fluoride, Aluminum and Cadmium) Associated Neurodevelopmental Toxicity
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2024 Feb 28. doi: 10.1007/s12011-024-04116-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe formation of the central nervous system is a meticulously planned and intricate process. Any modification to this process has the potential to disrupt the structure and operation of the brain, which could result in deficiencies in neurological growth. When neurotoxic substances are present during the early stages of development, they can be exceptionally dangerous. Prenatally, the immature brain is extremely vulnerable and is therefore at high risk in pregnant women associated with occupational exposures. Lead, fluoride, al...
