Defluoridation of water using nano-magnesium oxide

TL;DR: In this article, the surface area of the adsorbent was found to be 92.46m2/g and the maximum (90%) fluoride removal was obtained with 0.6mg/L dosage of nano-MgO.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study on the status of fluoride ion in groundwater of coastal hard rock aquifers of south India

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the most extensive database on fluoride and other chemical constituent distribution in the coastal hard rock aquifers of Thoothukudi district and found that high fluoride groundwaters are present especially in the hard rock areas of the country.

Ground Water Contamination with Fluoride and Potential Fluoride Removal Technologies for East and Southern Africa

Bernard Thole
TL;DR: A survey of ground water in Tanzania showed that 30% of the waters used for drinking exceeded 1.5 mg/l fluoride and occurrence of dental fluorosis have also been reported as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of certain inorganic constituents in groundwater samples of Erode district, Tamilnadu, India, with special emphasis on fluoride, fluorosis and its remedial measures.

TL;DR: It is inferred that these water sources can be used for potable purpose only after prior treatment and a positive correlation of fluoride with total hardness and calcium is found.
Journal Article
