Effects On Animals
The histological changes which are induced through fluorine on rats resemble those of humans. That has been observed in an experiment with young and old rats. NaF was dissolved in their drinking water. Young rats have shown to be more susceptible to skeletal Fluorosis, because their bones react faster with the fluorine. Further aspects are major changes in teeth morphology, defects on dental enamel and abrasion of the incisors and porous compression of the upper and lower jaw.
