Fluoride is a constituent that belongs to the group of microelements that are not as indispensable for our body as calcium, potassium or sodium. However, alterations in its level, including deficiency or excess, can result in severe health implications. It is beneficial to grasp the role fluoride plays in the human body and its health implications. It is also crucial to understand the individual requirement for this constituent and the food sources in which it is present.

Fluor – funkcje i cechy pierwiastka

Fluor jest niemetalicznym pierwiastkiem należącym do grupy fluorowców. W stanie wolnym spotyka się go głównie w laboratoriach chemicznych. Tam występuje jako żółtozielony, silnie toksyczny gaz o charakterystycznym zapachu. Ze względu na swoją wysoką aktywność chemiczną w środowisku naturalnym występuje przeważnie w postaci związków z innymi pierwiastkami i cząsteczkami. Wykazuje duże powinowactwo do pierwiastków takich jak wapń, magnez, mangan, żelazo, glin i molibden. Jest powszechnie rozprzestrzeniony na całej kuli ziemskiej. Jego związki stanowią składnik wody, gleby oraz starych warstw geologicznych. Fluor odgrywa kluczową rolę w prawidłowym funkcjonowaniu organizmu ludzkiego. Średnio dorosły człowiek zawiera około 225 mg fluoru (około 3 mg/kg masy ciała). Ten pierwiastek ma istotne znaczenie dla procesów wzrostowych. Dlatego odpowiednia jego podaż jest niezbędna w diecie dzieci i młodzieży. W organizmie młodych osób około 80% spożytego fluoru jest wykorzystywane do budowy kości i zębów. Z wiekiem ten procent maleje. U dorosłych ponad połowa fluoru służy do regeneracji i naprawy tkanek kostnych. Fluor może modyfikować substancje tworzące szkliwo zębów, tworząc fluoroapatyty. Te związki chronią szkliwo przed działaniem bakterii próchnicotwórczych.
