Abstract


1. Stomach, duodenum, small intestine, kidney, liver, spleen, skin, heart, aorta, lungs, brain, pancreas, adrenals, thyroid and  parathyroid of rats and monkeys suffering from chronic fluorosis have been histologically examined.

2. Fluorine has not been found to have any effect on the heart muscle, aorta, skin and parathyroids, whereas it has been found to adversely affect the histological structure of the remaining tissues, though in a varying degree.

3. The pathological changes observed in these tissues have been discussed.
