Bor’un Kullanım Alanları ve Bor Toksisitesi

Öz

Bor (B) doğada birçok mineral formunda bulunan ve sanayide birçok alanda kullanılan değerli ve çok önemli bir elementtir. B, özellikle son çalışmalarla sağlık alanında da tercih edilmektedir. Osteoporoz, alerjik hastalılar, artrit, beyin kanserleri gibi birçok hastalığın tedavisi için kullanılmaktadır. B’a besin takviyesi olarak da ulaşmak mümkündür. Sağlık açısından birçok faydası bulunan B elementinin toksik olduğu durumlar da vardır. Bu çalışma ile B’un fiziksel ve kimyasal özelliklerinden, doğada bulunuş şekillerinden, kullanım alanlarından, sağlık için öneminden ve toksisitesinden bahsederek bir derleme yapıldı.

Uses of Boron and Boron Toxicity

Abstract

Boron (B) is a valuable and very important element found in many mineral forms in nature and used in many fields in industry. B is also preferred in the field of health, especially with recent studies. It is used for the treatment of many diseases such as osteoporosis, allergic diseases, arthritis, and brain cancers. It is also possible to reach B as a nutritional supplement. There are cases where element B, which has many health benefits, is toxic. In this study, a review was made by mentioning the physical and chemical properties of B, the way it is found in nature, its usage areas, its importance for health, and its toxicity.
