Abstract:
Objective To study the function of urine flu orine (UF) and hair fluorine (HF) in controlling of fluorosis.Methods Villages that have approximately the same level of fluorine(F) in drinking water were chosen.UF and HF were measured in the villages.Results The level of F in drinking water was highlyrel ated with UF but not with HF.UF and HF was not related.Statistical significantd ifferences of UF and HF were found between endemic and non-endemic,light and mid-severe areas.Conclusions Both UF and HF can be used to determine end emic areas,especially in high Fenvironment.
