Abstract

Fluoride concentration in ground water samples is determined in 30 villages of Bidar district of Karnataka state. 60 Samples of tube wells and 10 samples of open wells are collected and analyzed for the fluoride content. Fluoride concentration in ground water samples of these villages varied between 0.5 mg/lit – 2.1 mg/lit. Ground water (tube well) samples contained high concentration of fluoride compared to open well. From the data it is evident that the people in the study area are severely affected by fluorosis dental and skeletal fluorosis and deformation of bone in children as well as adults are observed in the study area, indicating the consequences of excess fluoride concentration.
