Spatial distribution mapping of drinking water fluoride levels in Karnataka, India: fluoride-related health effects
Conclusions:
The southern part of Karnataka has low levels of F– in its drinking water, and may require fluoridation treatment in order to mitigate for dental caries and further ailments related to fluoride deficiency. However, districts within the north-eastern region have contrastingly high levels of fluoride, an observation which has been linked to dental and skeletal fluorosis. This highlights a major requirement for interventional actions in order to ensure maintenance of the recommended range of fluoride concentrations (0.8–1.5 ppm) in Karnataka’s drinking water sources.
