  Can Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plants in India Cause Industrial Fluorosis in Domestic Animals? Livestock Owners are Unaware
  Author(s): Shanti Lal Choubisa*
  
  Fluorosis usually develops in domestic animals that are continuously exposed to a potential source of fluoride over a long period of time. In India, thousands of domestic animals of different species, such as cattle (Bos taurus), water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), sheep (Ovis aries), goats (Capra hircus), camels (Camelus dromedarius), horses (Equus caballus), and donkeys (E. asinus) suffer from fluorosis due to drinking fluoridated water. But in these species, industrial fluorosis can also develop due to exposure to industrial fluoride emissions or pollution. In the country, there are more than 300 coal-based thermal power plants (TPPs) for power generation. These require coal to operate. Burning of coal in these thermal power projects releases various types of poisonous gases, including fluoride-containing gases like HF, SiF4 , and CF4 , which spread in the surrounding environment and ..
