Fluoride toxicity in groundwater of Rajasthan: A regional review of environmental and health complications
Authors
Lalita Panchal
Abstract
Fluoride contamination in groundwater poses a
significant environmental and public health challenge in Rajasthan, India. This
review critically examines the widespread fluoride toxicity in various
districts of Rajasthan, elucidating the hydrogeological factors contributing to
fluoride enrichment and the resultant health effects, particularly dental and
skeletal fluorosis. This review synthesizes data from national and
international studies, discussing fluoride distribution, permissible limits,
and the most vulnerable communities. Despite several government and scientific
interventions, sustainable mitigation remains elusive. In
order to lessen the health effects of fluoride in Rajasthan, the study
highlights the pressing need for integrated community awareness, legislative
changes, and the implementation of cost-effective and efficient defluoridation
methods.
