THE ASSESSMENT OF GROUND WATER QUALITY DUE TO THE IMPACT OF IRON INDUSTRY EFFLUENT AT KULATHUR, DINDIGUL
Ignatius Navis Karthika, Jesu A*, Dheenadayalan M.S
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.
