Fluorine released from coal burning is considered indoor pollution. Is its consequence still an endemic disease?

It still belongs to

Coal-burning pollution-type endemic fluorosis (referred to as coal-burning pollution-type fluorosis) and coal-burning pollution-type endemic arsenosis (referred to as coal-burning pollution-type endemic arsenosis) Arsenicosis) are two different endemic diseases, but both are caused by residents' long-term use of stoves without smoke exhaust facilities to burn coal with high fluorine or arsenic content indoors, resulting in indoor air and food pollution and excessive fluorine intake. or chronic systemic poisoning from arsenic. Coal-burning type fluoride (arsenic) disease is a biogeochemical disease and a lifestyle disease.

2. Causes of fluoride (arsenic) disease caused by coal burning pollution

Ground fluoride (arsenic) disease caused by coal burning pollution mostly occurs in In cold and humid mountainous areas, the fluoride content of local drinking water is generally below 0.5 mg/L, and the arsenic content of the water is not high. However, local coal resources are abundant, and small coal mines are common. The coal used has high fluorine or arsenic content. In addition, local farmers The habit of using open stoves for heating, cooking, cooking feed, and baking food results in the emission of fluoride (arsenic) compounds from coal burning that seriously pollutes indoor air and stored food. Long-term intake of excessive fluorine or arsenic in the human body can cause poisoning.
