    About this ebook

    Fluorine: A Paradoxical Element, Volume Five, deals with the link between fluorine, humanity and the environment. It is divided into three main sections, including i) The history and developmental stages of fluorinated products, ii) Awareness of its importance in our environment, and iii) Recent contributions of fluoride products in medicine, pharmacy and our daily lives. Made engaging through interesting figures and accessible language, and written by a leading expert, Professor Tressaud, the book supports the work of scientists working in materials, toxicology and environmental science. It complements the author’s edited series, Progress in Fluorine Science, covering recent advances.

    • Describes background and contextual information regarding the history, development of understanding, and applications of this important element
    • Explores the impacts of fluorine, both positive and negative, in the environment and biological systems
    • Includes applied, real-world information from agencies, such as CNRS, NASA, HWS and DOH
