Abstract:

Ground water samples of Rampur city have been collected either from the bore wells(from the part of municipal water supply) or from the hand pumps (direct consumption were analyzed for fluoride in Rampur city (India). The result indicates considerable variations among the analyzed ground water samples and the concentration of fluoride ranged from 0.88 to 4.75 mg/l. In most of the ground water samples the concentration of fluoride was found to be moderately higher when compared to WHO standard for drinking water which may leads to associated health risks in urban population if the ground water is being used without proper treatment. Further it is suggested that the sources of municipal water supply must be establish in a region where an adequate level of fluoride was observed.
