Tea and fluorosis

Recommendations for fluoride limits in drinking water based on estimated daily fluoride intake in the Upper East Region, Ghana

“…The major sources of fluoride are drinking water, food, dental products (mostly tooth paste), pesticides (NRC, 2006;USEPA, 2010b), and tea (Shu et al, 2003;Wong et al, 2003;Yi and Cao, 2008). Additional fluoride exposure from air occurs in some areas around the world due to industrial emissions (ATSDR, 2003;Jagtab et al, 2012), electrical utilities, coal, and volcanoes (ATSDR, 2003).…”

A fast and accurate method for the determination of total and soluble fluorine in toothpaste using high-resolution graphite furnace molecular absorption spectrometry and its comparison with established techniques

“…Small quantities of fluorides are added to water, food and especially to toothpastes and dental gels [1][2][3][4][5]. Toothpastes are multi-component mixtures of different inorganic and organic components.…”
