Abstract:

Fluoride is a naturally occurring toxic minerals present in drinking water and study causes dental, skeletal or non-skeletal fluorosis etc. Fluorspar, Cryolite and Fluorapatite are the naturally occurring minerals, from which fluoride finds its path to ground water through infiltration. In the present investigation fluoride were estimated in ground water samples from different districts from southern Rajasthan. The live districts were Udaipur, Dungarpur, Banswara district of southern Rajasthan studied dung summer, rainy, winter season (2019-2020). They were analyzed to adopt the standard method of APHA. To estimate the quality of ground water, fluoride was compared with the standard desirable limit of that parameters stipulated for drinking water as prescribed by BIS and WHO. The analysis also reveals high concentration of fluoride than the desirable limit (<0.6mg/L) in Udaipur. The values of fluoride were also found higher in Dungarpur, compared to Banswara and Udaipur. Mostly cases of fluorosis both of dental and skeletal have clearly observed in Dungarpur. The one way ANOVA test analysis was conducted to determine highly significant value of different districts. All values were found highly significant difference (di=4, 835, p<0.001) in districts.
