ABSTRACT
The pollution of ground water, well water and surface water in and
around kulathur in Dindigul district with special reference to the level
of fluoride concentration in water reservoirs and its impact on the
health of the people in causing dental flourosis. During the survey in
the study area, the investigator observed that many people in the study
area are suffering from dental problems with the investigator identified
the prevalence of dental fluorosis. In order to find out the causes for
the prevalence of dental flourosis the investigator collected water
sample in the study area for quality analysis. The physico and chemical
parameters of water sample were analyzed and presented. Among the
various inorganic ions present in the water samples, the dominant ion is the fluoride with
concentration ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 mg/lit per the WHO,BIS and ISI level the fluoride
concentration should be 0.05 mg/lit the study area four samples the fluoride level is very high
indicating the impact of fluoride in causing dental fluoride. The dental surgeon also conforms
by the diagnosing the people in the study area and recommended for remedial measurement
to control the fluoride level in water. Finally the investigator concludes the prevalence of
dental fluoride in kulathur in Dindigul district. Since there is an impact of high fluoride level
in water samples.
