Fluoride Toxicity Limit—Can the Element Exert a Positive Effect on Plants?

The problem of fluoride toxicity to living organisms is the subject of many studies. Its effect, not always toxic, on the human organism has been well documented. However, although the phytotoxicity of the element has been proved, this issue is still being investigated. It seems to be still relevant...
