Abstract
Fluoride in water is mostly of geological origin. The control of drinking water quality from groundwaters is critical in preventing fluorosis. A physico-chemical analysis of available groundwater drinking resources in 10 villages of Masooda tehsil of Ajmer was carried out. The analytical results revealed considerable variations in chemical composition of water samples. Fluoride concentration varied from 0.5 to 6.7 ppm, causing dental and skeletal fluorosis amongst people.
