ASSESSMENT AND TOXICITY OF FLUORIDE FROM GROUND WATER SOURCES IN AND AROUND BAGALKOT DISTRICT, KARNATAKA, INDIA
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Physico-Chemical analysis of ground water samples was carried out from 20 locations of Bagalkot, Badami and Hungund and Ilkal taluks. The analysis of different parameters such as Temperature, pH, EC, TDS and Fluoride were carried out as per the standard methods. All the parameters studied were within the permissible limit except Fluoride content in few locations. The analyzed results indicate the Fluoride concentration in some sampling spots namely Simikeri (Govt. Primary School Campus) of Baglkot Taluk, Maradi village and Budanagad village of Badami Taluk, Yarigonal village, Ilkal (Near Municipalty) and Aminagad (Gudur Cross) of Hungund taluk were found above standards probably due to seasonal variations and salt water contamination. Fluoride ion in water sources is known for both beneficial and detrimental effects on live stock. The higher concentration of Fluoride in ground water causes a disease called “Fluorosis”. It is a slow, progressive, crippling malady, which affects every organ, tissue and cells in the body and results in health complaints having overlapping manifestations with several other diseases like chronic dental and skeletal Fluorosis.
