According to Baidu Health, fluorite is a fluoride mineral, and untreated fluorite is radioactive and harmful to human body. Long-term inhalation of fluorite dust will damage lung tissue. However, it is harmless if fluorite is professionally processed and reasonably used as a medicinal material according to the doctor's advice every day.
The main component of fluorite is calcium fluoride. If it is directly excavated from the mine, it may contain other impurities, such as heavy metals such as lead, arsenic and mercury, and radioactive elements such as radon. Long-term exposure to untreated fluorite may increase the risk of cancer and be harmful to human body. At the same time, if you are engaged in fluorite mining, mineral processing and processing and inhale fluorite dust for a long time, you may have symptoms such as cough, chest pain and dyspnea, which may lead to progressive pulmonary fibrosis and even develop into lung cancer. If fluorite is professionally treated, impurities and harmful elements are greatly reduced, and it can be used as traditional Chinese medicine for daily use. It is mild in nature and has the effects of warming kidney, benefiting uterus, calming heart and calming nerves. It can be used for treating palpitation and insomnia, cough due to lung deficiency, and infertility due to palace cold. If used reasonably according to the doctor's advice, it is harmless and even beneficial to the human body.
