Black Tea Source, Production, and Consumption: Assessment of Health Risks of Fluoride Intake in New Zealand

“…In a study conducted in Inner Mongolia, Li et al (2009) reported that when drinking water F levels were 0.70 mg/L and the mean F content of tea was 1.81 mg/L, 31% of habitual tea drinkers were found to have skeletal fluorosis [191]. Cao et al (1996) reported that the consumption of tea infusions with a F concentration of 2.59 mg/L led to an epidemic of fluorosis among Tibetans [192].…”

The relationships between low levels of urine fluoride on children's intelligence, dental fluorosis in endemic fluorosis areas in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, China

“…Hulunbuir is divided into 13 different country-level jurisdictions: one district, five countrylevel cities, four banners and three autonomous banners [19]. Many cross-sectional studies [20][21][22] showed that fluoride concentration in drinking water in this area had been higher than the upper limit of 1 mg/L prescribed in Chinese Standards for Drinking Water Quality [12] for a long period. Meanwhile, studies related to fluoride exposure in drinking water have found large number of children accompanied by dental fluorosis in this region.…”

Coal-burning roasted corn and chili as the cause of dental fluorosis for children in southwestern China

However, besides cases of endemic fluorosis from drinking water, there is another particular type of endemic fluorosis caused by burning coal in China [6][7][8][9][10].…”
