Preface
It is our great pleasure to present the book, Fluoride Toxicity in Animals. Animals living in areas where fluorosis is endemic in the human population invariably s uffer from the toxic effects of excess fluoride intake. Nevertheless, there has been limited research on fluorosis in animals whereas fluorosis in the human population has received more attention from biologists, environmental scientists, and management authorities worldwide. This book has been written for higher undergraduate and graduate students of toxicology, veterinary science, animal nutrition, environmental science, public health workers, animal welfare activists, public health veterinarians, medical professionals, and all others interested in the subject. A brief account of physical and chemical properties of fluorine and different fluoride compounds is given along with their relative significance in fluoride toxicity. Important natural and anthropogenic sources of fluoride toxicity in animals are described to help identify the probl
