[An investigation of endemic fluorine poisoning caused by food contaminated by smoke containing fluorine].
This paper reports an investigation of two endemic fluorine poisoning areas, where living conditions are special and life habits backward. It was found that fluorosis was also caused by burning coal in a primitive way, even though the average fluorine content of the burning was as low as 61.80 mg/kg.
