Fluoride in Drinking Water and its Toxicosis in Tribals of Rajasthan, India

Abstract Fluoride (F) toxicosis in the forms of dental, skeletal and non-skeletal fluorosis were investigated in 996 tribal individuals (503 males and 493 females) above 10 years of age living in nine F endemic villages of Dungarpur district of Rajasthan, India. Drinking water sources of these villages contained F in the range of 1.5–4.4 ppm. Of these tribals, 735 (73.8 %) and 294 (29.5 %) were found to be afflicted with mild to severe dental and skeletal fluorosis, respectively. At 1.5 ppm F concentration the prevalence of dental and skeletal fluorosis was 33.9 and 10.7 %, respectively. A polymorphism of dental fluorosis in the form of brown to deep yellowish bilaterally stratified horizontal lines, pits or patches, and fine dots or granules was noted on anterior teeth of tribal individuals. Irregular wearing, excessive corrosions (abrasions), dark-yellowish pigmentation of exposed cementum and dentine material, diastemas between teeth, pronounced loss of tooth supporting bone with recession, and bulging of gingiva (gum) were also present. Among the adult and old tribal individuals, the following mild to severe manifestations of skeletal fluorosis such as crippling, kyphosis, invalidism and genu-varum syndrome were found. Sporadic cases of paraplegia and quadriplegia were also found. None of the fluorotic tribals showed evidence of genu-valgum syndrome. Radiological changes were also observed in these individuals. Other signs of chronic F intoxication in soft tissues (non-skeletal fluorosis) included colic, intermittent diarrhoea or constipation, bloating, urticaria, polyurea, polydipsia, repeated abortions, still birth and sterility. Data pertaining to prevalence of osteo-dental fluorosis in relation to age and F concentration exhibited statistically significant correlation.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
