摘要
In country like India, the groundwater is widely used for drinking purposes. In central India, the groundwater is hard and contaminated with F<sup>-</sup> and other elements above the permissible limits and found to be linked with prevalence of the fluorosis diseases. In this work, the groundwater quality Balod district, Chhattisgarh, India is investigated for assessment of water quality for drinking purposes. The concentration (n = 50) of F<sup>-</sup> was ranged from 1.5 - 14.0 mg/L with mean value of 3.9 ± 0.8 mg/L. The causes of prevalence of skeleton fluorosis in human of the studied area are described.
