INTRODUCTION
Fluorosis is endemic over 25 countries across the globe and millions of
people are affected by consumption of fluoride rich ground water due to lack of
alternate economically viable solutions. In India, 21 states and union territories and
about 62 million people including 6 million children suffer from fluorosis due to
excess consumption of fluoride through drinking water. More than 90% of rural
drinking water supply programmes are based on ground water that is being over
exploited for agriculture, causing an influx of high fluoride water from the earth crust.
The spectrum of health hazards of Fluorosis range from milder form of dental
mottling to a severe form of skeletal Fluorosis that leads to paralysis of lower limbs.
Endemic fluorosis in rural India occurs because of prolonged ingestion of water with
excess fluoride resulting in significant skeletal morbidity. The skeletal morbidity is
further accentuated in children owing to rapid bone growth. Apart from the level of
fluoride in drinking water, duration of exposure, socio-economic status of the
community, age, and intake of certain food items such as tea, jowar, ragi, tamarind
etc. are known to modify the severity of the fluorosis. The influence of dietary factors
particularly calcium deficiency has been associated with high fluoride toxicity.
Concerns of increased industrial growth especially phosphate fertilizer producing
units, aluminum, iron smelting and glass manufacturing units which have been
shown to adversely affect the fluoride content in atmosphere and ground water.
There is no medicine available to treat the fluorosis, attempts to mitigate
fluoride problem have been largely concerned with defluoridation of drinking water.
However these measures were not fully successful owing to limited coverage of risk
areas as well as low awareness of the problem of fluoride in water and its associated
toxicity among populations residing in the endemic areas. Now a day's number of
studies is being carried out on the molecular mechanisms of fluoride induced toxicity
which is not well known to the researchers, academicians, NGOs.
In the light of fluorosis being an important public health problem there is an
urgent need to address various factors influencing the fluoride toxicity and evolve
intervention strategies that also include education and extension components.
2
The present conference theme is Debilitating Fluorosis: Current status Health
Challenges and Mitigation Measures, which will be covered having sub themes such
as epidemiology of Fluorosis, biological and molecular aspects of fluoride, Mitigation
of Fluorosis (nutrition, education and defluoridation), geology of fluoride, fluoride and
elemental interaction, analytical methods of detection of fluoride biological tissues,
plants and food. The conference will focus on about sub themes so as to the
international and national participants will be benefited to acquire the current
information/knowledge to get ultimate benefit to the people.

was delivered by Dr. VarinderGarg MD Radiologist about the clinical and radiological
aspects of fluorosis.
The main conference was encompassed with five symposia (Symposium I: Biological
aspects of fluorosis; symposium II: Molecular aspects of fluorosis; symposium III:
Global epidemiological perspectives of fluorosis; symposium IV: Associated factors
and fluorosis; symposium V: Fluorosis mitigation) and one NilouferChinoyaward oral
session. A total of 31 oral presentations along with 5 NilouferChinoy award oral
presentations by eminent scientist and 37 poster presentations covering the topics
Biological and molecular aspects of fluorosis, epidemiology of fluorosis, mitigation of
fluorosis were presented.
8
Session: I
Symposium I: Biological Aspects of fluorosis
Dr. Kenji Akiniwa, Japan, from Japanese
Society for Fluoride Research presented
a paper on “Carcinogenicty of fluoride
estimated by the prevalence of dental
fluorosis”. He explained the
carcinogenicity of total fluoride intake from
water fluoridation and topical use is not well
documented; nevertheless dental fluorosis
caused by the use of fluoride is well known.
Observed/expected cancer prevalence
rates caused by the total daily fluoride
intake were estimated with multiplying the
cancer prevalence rate by water fluoridation
and the increased number of dental
fluorosis.

Dr. Maya Ramesh
Dr. Maya Ramesh, India Associate
Professor, VMSDC, Salem presented a
paper on the "GENETIC POLYMORPHISM
OF COL 2 A 1 GENE IN A POPULATION
AFFECTED BY DENTAL FLUOROSIS”.
She explained that the collagen contains
specific amino acids and is the principal
constituent of teeth. The knowledge of
collagen gene in dental fluorosis is very less
and there were no studies on collagen
gene (COL 2 A1 gene) polymorphism in
dental fluorosis in humans. Gene mapping
was done to identify genetic polymorphism
in collagen gene. The population of the
Salem and world at large will be benefitted
by this project. If genetic polymorphism of
gene is identified, methods for gene therapy
can be identified to prevent this for the
future generations.
10
Dr. Sumedha Roy Dr. Sumedha Roy, India, Toxicology
Research Unit presented a paper on the
“SODIUM FLUORIDE INDUCED TOXIC
RESPONSES IN DROSOPHILA
MELANOGASTER”. She explained that
sodium fluoride (NaF), very commonly used
fluoride compound is composed of Na+ and
F-. Other than its use in water fluoridation,
NaF happens to be a major constituent of
several dental products like toothpastes,
mouth rinses etc. The present study
explored the toxic impact of chronic
exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of
NaF in a non-target organism, Drosophila
melanogaster.
11
Dr. SandeepTripathi Dr. SandeepTripathi, India Head (R&D)
Nationbal Referral Centre for Fluoride
Poisoning in India presented a paper on
the“NEUROLOGICAL CHANGES
DELINEATED BY EXCESSIVE FLUORIDE
INGESTION: CLINICAL AND
PRECLINICAL INVESTIGATIONS”. He
explained that the animal study revealed
that increased oxidative burden in terms of
increased lipid peroxidation and reduced
antioxidant status in fluoride treated rats.
Increased necrosis and lactate
dehydrogenase were apparent. On the
basis of results it may be concluded that
different biochemical parameters provides a
reliable indicator for monitoring the health
status of the high endemic area of fluoride
those are at risk of fluorosis. The oxidative
stress mechanism has been suggested.
12
Dr. A. Ghosh
Dr. A. Ghosh, India Department of
Biochemistry and Obstetrics and
GynaecologyPt. B. D. Sharma PGIMS,
Rohtak, Haryana presented a paper on“TO
EVALUATE ASSOCIATION OF
FLUORIDE WITH CONGENITAL
ANOMALIES IN NEWBORNS”. He
explained that the babies with congenital
defects namely anencephaly, omphalocele
and CTEV had significantly higher fluoride
levels as compared to other congenital
anomalies.However, levels in other cases
were also higher as compared to healthy
controls.
13
Symposium II : Molecular aspects of fluorosis Dr. MasashiTsunoda, Japan
Dr. MasashiTsunoda, Department of
Hygiene, KitasatoUniversity School of
Medicine, Sagamihara, Japanpresented a
paper on“THE EFFECTS OF FLUORIDE
ON THE GENE EXPRESSIONS OF
CYTOKINES IN THE THYMOCYTES AND
SPLENOCYTES FROM THE HIGHIGA
MICE AFTER SUBACUTE EXPOSURE
VIA DRINKING WATER”. He explained
that the F at 150 ppm in the drinking water
may induce inflammatory reactions in
splenic macrophages and result in the
deterioration of IgA nephritis.
14
Dr. P. MahaboobBasha, India
Dr.P. MahaboobBasha, Department of
Zoology Bangalore University,
BangaloreIndia presented a paper on
the“EFFECT OF FLUORIDE ON PROTEIN
OXIDATION AND DNA
FRAGMENTATION: A MULTI
GENERATIONALASSESSMENT”. His
findings are consistent with the hypothesis
that the multi-generational exposure to
fluoride during pregnancy is in part due to
epigenetic alterations. It can be concluded
from findings that the presence of
generational or cumulative effects of
fluoride on the progression of neuronal
impairments in the offsprings of subsequent
generations when fluoride is ingested
continuously through multiple generations.
RESULTS
FLUORIDE RETENTION AT TISSUE LEVEL
1. Considerable accumulation of fluoride was
observed in medulla oblongata,
hippocampus, cerebellum, and cerebral
cortex
2. The differential sensitivity of discrete brain
regions found in F1, F2 and F3 upon fluoride
exposure may be due to preferential fluoride
accumulation and also due to altered
biochemical and cellular processes that are
uniquely associated with or greatly enhanced
in a particular region.
15
Dr. Arjun L Khandare, India
Dr. Arjun L Khandare, Scientist-F, Food
Toxicology Division, National Institute of
Nutrition, India presented a paper on
the“CARBONIC ANHYDRASE
UPREGULATION PLAYS KEY ROLE IN
AMELIORATING FLUORIDE INDUCED
TOXICITY IN EXPERIMENTAL RATS
SUPPLEMENTED WITH TAMARINDUS
INDICA FRUIT EXTRACT”. He
documented the mechanism of action of
TFE in the amelioration of F toxicity via
carbonic anhydrase activity. This study also
identified the role of CA in reducing F
toxicity and its gene can be targeted to
upregulate its expression. Further studies
are required to elucidate the pathways
leading to the CA II upregulation on TFE
supplementation to mitigate fluorosis.
16
Dr. SemihaDede,Turkey Dr. SemihaDede, Professor, Department of
Biochemsitry, Faculty of Veterinary
Medicine,
YuzuncuYil University,Van,Turkey
presented a paper on“THE EFFECT OF
VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS ON
ANTIOXIDANT/PROOXIDANT STATUS
ON NAF TREATED RENAL(NRK-52E)
CELL LINES”. She observed that in the
NaFadded NRK-52E cell line, using vitamin
D have statistically important effect on TAS,
TOS and OSI index incell lysate.
• Vitamin D is well known to exert
multiple functions in bone biology,
autoimmune diseases, cell growth,
inflammation or neuromuscular and
other immune functions.
• Vitamin D, a lipid soluble molecule
usually produced after exposure to
solar ultraviolet rays.
• It is a fat-soluble vitamin present in
many foods.
• Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a
steroid hormone found in nature,
and can be acquired from various
sources, including cow milk, eggs,
fish etc.
Why vitamin D?

Mr. Lakshmi KanthanPannerselvam, India
Mr. Lakshmi KanthanPannerselvam, ICMR-
SRF India presented a paper on“ACUTE
FLUORIDE EXPOSURE CAUSES
CARDIAC DYSFUNCTION IN MALE
RATS: A BIOCHEMICAL A MOLECULAR
APPROACH”.He demonstrated
thatnumerous studies reveal that
hypocalcemia, hyperkalemia and cardiac
arrhythmia were involved in acute F-
induced cardiac dysfunction. Briefly,
induction of oxidative stress, apoptosis,
necrosis and altered expression of
cytoskeletal heat shock stress proteins and
AMPK signaling molecules play a crucial
role in acute F- induced cardiac dysfunction
apart from hypocalcemia and hyperkalemia.

Mr. M. Nageshwar, India
Mr. M. Nageshwar, Research Scholar,
Neurobiology, Zoology Department,
Osmania University, India presented a
paper on“EFFECTS OF QUERCETIN ON
OXIDATIVE STRESS AND BEHAVIORAL
ALTERATION IN ALBINO WISTAR RAT
UNDER NEUROTOXIC SODIUM
FLUORIDE EXPOSURE.” He explained
that thequercetin with sodium fluoride
treatment successfully mitigated oxidative
stress in brain of rat and restored the
behavioral (maze learning) responses
compared to the rat treated with sodium
fluoride. Therefore, it can be concluded that
concomitant administration of quercetin
protects rat brain from sodium fluoride
induced oxidative stress and also
behavioral alteration in rat.

Ms. Shivani Gupta, India
Ms. Shivani Gupta, Research Scholar,
School of Studies in Life Sciences,
PanditRavishankarShukla University,
RaipurIndia presented a paper
on“EPIDEMIOLOGIC RISK ASSESSMENT
IN SOME FLUORIDE AFFECTED
VILLAGES OF CHHATTISGARH, INDIA.”
The results indicated that the estimated
daily intake of fluoride (CTE and RME),
HQs and HI from ingestion and the potential
risk structures is greater in the villages with
Fˉ level > 3.00 mgL-1. EDI is calculated with
different mediums of ingestion which
indicates that about 97% of the total fluoride
exposure in the study area is due to the
intake of drinking water, vegetables and soil
contributes only about 2% and 1% in it.

Ms. SonaliDhawas, India
Ms. SonaliDhawas, P.G.T.D. Zoology,R.t.m.
Nagpur University, NagpurIndia presented a
paper on“STUDY OF CHRONIC
FLUORIDE TOXICITY IN SOME
VILLAGES OF CHANDRAPUR DISTRICT,
MAHARASHTRA, INDIA.” Her study
revealed that 19.53% people exhibited
skeletal fluorosis. Serum samples of these
subjects showed elevated levels of fluoride
and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and
decreased levels of calcium. Radiographic
changes suggestive of increased bone
mineral density, calcification of the
interosseous membrane, periosteal bone
formation and osteosclerosis. These
findings suggest that the excess fluoride
level in water has an impact on the human
health residing in study area.

Development & Ganga Rejuvenation India
presented a paper on“GROUNDWATER
QUALITY IS ON THE BRIM WITH
REFERENCE TO FLUORIDE IN RURAL
AREAS OF ANANTAPUR DISTRICT,
ANDHRA PRADESH, AND SOUTH
INDIA”. She explained thatthe
concentration of F- in groundwater ranges
from 0.8 to 3.8 mg/l and 0.9 to 4.1 mg/l
mean of 2.1 and 2.3 mg/l in both the seasons. It is observed that 78% and 83% of
groundwater samples are exceeding the maximum permissible limits (1.5 mg/l) of
drinking water standards in both the seasons.F-has shown anegative correlation with
Ca2+and the positive correlation with pH, HCO3- and Na+. Enrichment of F-in the
groundwater is due to increase the dissolution/solubility of F-bearing minerals,
leading to F-leaching into groundwater it is totally geogenicactivityin the study area.

BharahtiarUniveristyIndia presented a
paper on“FLUORIDE INDUCED
CYTOSKELETAL PROTEIN CHANGES IN
RAT GASTROCNEMIUS MUSCLE-
PROTECTIVE ROLE OF
PROTOCATECHUIC ACID METHYL ESTER”.He demonstrated that the chronic
exposure to fluoride to soft tissue such as skeletal muscle causes deleterious effect
is a well-established fact. Cytoskeletal proteins desmin and vimentin which are
predominately found in the skeletal muscle are the major structural and functional
support during the process of contraction and relaxation. The chronic exposure of
fluoride in the gastrocnemius muscle causes changes in biochemical as well as
molecular level expression of both desmin and vimentin.

Mr. SrinivasChekuri, India
Mr. SrinivasChekuri, India presented a
paper on “INTEGRATED INSTITUTIONAL
RESPONSE TO TACKLE FLUOROSIS:
EXPERIENCES FROM NALGONDA,
BALASORE AND NAGAON IN INDIA”. He
demonstrated thatin 3 year experience now
of Nalgonda, few more examples have now
followed, most notably those at Balasore in
Odisha and Nagaon in Assam. All these
institutions are at an early stage and they all
show very interesting mix of government
convergence aided by a local, regional and national ecosystem of actors put together
as a network of institutions working on the fluorosis issue. The experiences coming
out from these field experiments which all are attempting an integrated response to
Fluorosis, is critical in planning further such expansion of the basic idea. The
potential of this idea seems vast and promising till now

GRANITIC PLUTON COMPLEX,
PRAKASAM DIST, AP, INDIA. HE
DEMONSTRATED THAT THE F-
concentration of rock-soil-groundwater does
not synchronize depicting latter enrichment
of F- into formation water. Ratios, indices
and plots indicate multiple mechanisms
were responsible in F- absorption into
groundwater. Water-rock interactions, ion
exchange followed by evapotranspiration
have facilitated the F- mineralization of
groundwater.

38
Symposium V: Fluorosis Mitigation
Dr. Sunderrajan Krishnan, India
Dr. Sunderrajan Krishnan, India presented a
paper on“COMBINING WATER AND
NUTRITION TO HELP RECOVER YOUNG
FLUOROSIS PATIENTS.”He explained
that the condition of juvenile skeletal
fluorosis is unique in that it is a mix of both
high Fluoride entering the body, as well as
Malnutrition. For addressing such cases,
one needs a combined approach for both
safe water and good nutrition. As a result of all these approaches, there has been a
recovery of bone deformities in 5 children and many improvements in others. The
programmes have now been scaled to 28 villages in Jhabua with similar results. This
approach shows a unique way of tackling Juvenile Skeletal Fluorosis and helping
children recover from deformity.

Tamilnadu, India presented a paper
on“ROLE OF TAMARIND SEED COAT IN
FLUOROSIS MITIGATION”. He
demonstrated thattill date there is no
effective therapeutics available for fluorosis.
Plants and their secondary metabolites
seem to reduce fluoride toxicity. Hence, the
beneficial effects of tamarind seed coat
against fluoride toxicity were assessed in
vitro - A549 cells andin vivo - rat lungs.
Tamarind seed coat supplementation
decreased fluoride accumulation in A549
cells and in rat lung tissues.

Professor, Dept of Medicine SKN Medical
College, Pune,India presented a paper
on“TEACHING FLUOROSIS TO
UNDERGRADUATES, INTERNS AND
RESIDENTS; LACUNA IN THE PRESENT
MEDICAL AND DENTAL EDUCATION:
THE WAY FORWARD”. He explained that
the fluorosis is neglected entity in
community as well as amongst medical
fraternity. Textbooks may not offer detailed
coverage of fluorosis. The minds of medical students are not being impressed upon
with the fluorosis epidemiology, clinical effects & prevention. The very fact that there
no active treatment or any drug; discourages interest of practicing clinicians in this
area. The vicious circle needs to be broken. There is equal need of reawakening for
medical students (undergraduate & postgraduate), medical teachers, authors,
medical/dental universities for better awareness and treatment of fluorosis.
