The article presents the results of studies of occupational fluorosis pathogenesis on experimental model of chronic fluoride intoxication (CFI). In early fluoride intoxication, fluoride and calcium in the body are in compensatory relations. Later, they are disturbed. High reaction ability of fluoride in CFI is associated with hypocalciemia which triggers parathyroid hyperactivity. This results in hyperproduction of PHH which is unrelated with development of secondary hyperparathyrosis. CFI is accompanied also with elevated calcitonin having a hypocalciemic and hypophosphatemic action. The experiments showed double content of collagen fragments of bone tissue in urine of animals with fluoride intoxication which reflects resorption of bone tissue. Serum osteocalcin rose three-fold as it was unable to include in the bone tissue. There was also activation of lipid peroxidation in subnormal activity of respiratory enzymes.

Ozone is a hazardous air pollutant with significant adverse effects on human health and the environment. With the growing industrial use of ozone, effective ozone removal systems have become essential, especially to protect workers' health. MnO-based catalysts offer substantial promise for ozone decomposition; however, a major challenge in their application is water molecule poisoning, particularly in high humidity conditions.

This experimental study was performed to evaluate the alterations in the expression of a few subunits composing glutamate AMPA (a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) and NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors in the hippocampal cells of Wistar rats in response to long-term fluoride (F) exposure. The animals were given water with background 0.4 (control), 5, 20, and 50 ppm F (as NaF) for 12 months.

Article Synopsis
- Coal-burning fluorosis is caused by long-term exposure to high-fluoride coal used for heating and cooking, which affects the PPARGC1A gene and its expression levels.
- The study found specific genetic variations (genotypes) at several loci, such as rs13131226 and rs1873532, that significantly increase the risk of developing coal-burning and skeletal fluorosis.
- Increased methylation in the mitochondrial DNA D-loop region is linked to a higher risk of coal-burning fluorosis, highlighting the interaction between genetic factors and environmental exposure in the Guizhou population.
