Treacherous Impacts Of Hydrogen Fluoride Around Brick Kilns: A Review

Abstract

A hydrogen fluoride emission from the brick kiln is the global rising issue. It acts as causative agent for various problems related to the soil, water, vegetation and ultimately the human health. Fuel burning in the kilns release very hazardous gases that damages the natural surrounding environment. Fluoride pollution coupled with high rainfall, lower the cation exchange capacity of soil and also effects the photosynthetic activity of plants. Fluoride is also used as natural contaminant in drinking water in many developing countries. Some developed countries revised their quality controls to ensure the fluoride free environment after annual toxicity reports. Hydrogen fluoride leads to the neural disorders in the children; very few are reported in the adults. This review paper focuses on the effects of the hydrogen fluoride on the soil, water, vegetation and the human health.
