Abstract

Several aspects of fluorides in the environment have been researched for decades so there is a great deal of published information. However, the authors consider that there are several important areas where information is lacking, data are contradictory, mechanisms of action have not been explored, or the environmental effects of particular compounds are not known. Therefore, this chapter reviews a selection of such topics: inorganic fluorides in soil; the loss of fluorides from plants; classifying species sensitivity to HF; estimating effects of fluorides on growth and yield; the significance of pollutant interactions; effects of HF on fertilization and seed set; fluorides and insects; and old and new problems associated with organofluorides in the environment. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
