H. aFluorides in the environmentbeffects on plants and animals.h[electronic resource] aWallingford:CABI Publishing:2004.c2004 aix + 287 . aThis book contains eight chapters discussing the history of fluorine and sources of fluorides in the environments. The uptake, transport and accumulation of inorganic fluorides by plants and animals, as well as their effects on these organisms are discussed. Some case histories in Scotland, Oregon (USA), British Columbia (Canada) and Cubatão (São Paulo, Brazil) involving fluoride contamination are examined. Monitoring and identifying effects of fluoride in the field, and the environmental standards to protect humans, other animals and plants are highlighted. Finally, the important properties of some natural organofluorine compounds (particularly monofluoroacetate) and manufactured organofluorine compounds (e.g. pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals) are described. aBrazil aBritish Columbia aCanada aOregon aScotland aHuman Health and the Environment aHuman Toxicology and Poisoning aIndustrial Wastes and Effluents aPlant Physiology and Biochemistry aPlant Toxicology aPollution and Degradation aSao Paulo aToxicology and Poisoning of Animals aUK aUSA aVeterinary Pharmacology and Anaesthesiology1 aDAVISON, A.
