FLUORIDE STATUS OF SUDHA DAM WATER NEAR BHOKER MAHARASHATRA, INDIA
Fluoride, Dam water, Chemical parameter, SPANDS
Abstract
Fluoride is one of the critical chemical parameter, which influences the quality of dam water. Fluoride in water was determined by SPADNS method by using a UV-visible spectrophotometer at 570 nm. Excess intake of fluoride through drinking water causes fluorosis on human beings in many states of India, including Maharashatra. The concentration of F was estimated from three sampling sites named as up stream, mid stream and down stream i.e. S , S and S . The entire study was carried out during January to December 2010. The observed values showed the variations during the research study were ranged between 0.25-1.2 mg/L. The concentration of F was found within the permissible limit i.e.1.5 mg/L.
