Abstract

In drinking water concentration of fluoride should be in requisite amount, excess amount of fluoride in drinking water causes dental fluorosis, mottling of teeth. while less concentration of fluoride in ground water results in a high incidence of dental caries, in children's teeth.

Satna district is famous for dolomite mines and limestone, fluoride ions dissolved in ground water from geological formations, so it becomes very important to analysis the fluoride in water of bore-wells for used drinking purpose in Satna city, in this analysis evaluation of fluoride concentration done by standard analytical procedures and found 0.79 to 0.689 ppm at different sampling station of Satna city during November 2017 to April 2018.
