Effects of brewing conditions on infusible fluoride levels in tea and herbal products and probabilistic health risk assessment
Abstract Excessive ingestion of fluorides might adversely affect the health of humans. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the concentrations of infusible fluoride in five different types of tea and herbal products; additionally, the probabilistic health risks associated with the ingestion of flu...
