Abstract:

High fluoride levels beyond the permissible World Health Organization (WHO) limit of 1.5mg/l has been observed in various states of India. The present study gathered all the information for fluoride concentration in ground water from secondary data source or from various literatures in India and different part of the globe. Fluoride in drinking water is both positive and negative effects on health. The paper presents the current information on fluoride in environment and its effects on human health and existing methods for defluoridation.


Keywords: Ground water, Fluoride, contamination
