Fluoruro en el agua: efectos en la salud y métodos de detección y remoción

fluoruro, sensores, detección, remoción, límites permitidos, salud, aguaResumen
Es crucial conocer la concentración de fluoruro (F⁻) en las diferentes fuentes que afectan a los seres vivos debido a sus efectos positivos y negativos. El F⁻, uno de los componentes de la pasta de dientes, resulta beneficioso al prevenir las caries, el deterioro del esmalte dental y el proceso de remineralización. Su exceso puede causar daños a la salud y, en concentraciones muy elevadas, incluso la muerte. Este ion puede contaminar el agua y la cadena alimentaria, por lo que la detección y medición eficiente de su contenido en los consumibles es esencial. Se plantea el problema de las altas concentraciones de F⁻ y se analizan los métodos utilizados para su detección, cuantificación y remoción.
