fluoride is an essential element for human health. however, excess fluoride in drinking water may cause dental and/or skeletal fluorosis. drinking water is the main route of fluoride intake. the aim of the present study was to measure fluoride levels in human breast milk collected from two regions of golestan province, northern iran with different amount of fluoride concentration of drinking wa...

The objective of this study was to analyze fluoride content in water for drinking and for use in remote areas of Thailand. Water was sampled from schools and villages along the border by Multiple Stratified Cluster Random Sampling. Fluoride levels of 214 water samples from 48 schools and 48 villages were assessed in triplicate by fluoride ion electrode. The fluoride content in different regions...

BACKGROUND To determine the severity of dental fluorosis in selected populations in Chiang Mai, Thailand with different exposures to fluoride and to explore possible risk indicators for dental fluorosis. METHODS Subjects were male and female lifetime residents aged 8-13 years. For each child the fluoride content of drinking and cooking water samples were assessed. Digital images were taken of...

AIM To estimate the prevalence of dental fluorosis in relation with different fluoride levels in drinking water among school going children of 6-12 years age group. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dental fluorosis was recorded using Dean's index in school children of selected villages. The drinking water samples of all the selected villages were collected in polyethylene bottles and the fluoride conten...

This paper presents the review on different concepts of fluoride detection techniques and technologies in water. At high concentration Fluoride is toxic to humans. When humans are exposed to fluoride-containing water, they can suffer from health problems, such as dental disease. Drinking water is the most consumed beverages. For humans beverages aresignificant sources of fluorides. Consistent e...

BACKGROUND Fluoride is an essential element for human health. However, excess fluoride in drinking water may cause dental and/or skeletal fluorosis. Drinking water is the main route of fluoride intake. The aim of the present study was to measure fluoride levels in human breast milk collected from two regions of Golestan Province, northern Iran with different amount of fluoride concentration of ...

In the present data article, fluoride concentration levels of drinking water (with spring or groundwater sources) in 10 villages of Asara area located in Alborz province were determined by the standard SPADNS method using a spectrophotometer (DR/2000 Spectrophotometer, USA). Daily fluoride intakes were also calculated based on daily drinking water consumption. The fluoride content were compared...

fluoride in drinking water has a profound effect on teeth. since drinking water is an important source of fluoride, the evaluation of the fluoride content of water resources is necessary. temporal variations and spatial distribution of fluoride in drinking water of some selected parts of kurdistan province, iran, have been studied using geographic information system (gis) techniques. thus, 40 v...

BACKGROUND Because of the potential for contamination of municipal water supplies, people appear to be turning to alternative sources for their pure drinking water. OBJECTIVES The present study analyzed the fluoride concentration in community water and bottled drinking water sold in Faridabad city. METHODS A comparative evaluation of fluoride content in community water supply and bottled dr...
