Abstract
ABSTRACTFluoride is highly threatening to human health, and it is a serious issue worldwide, especially in India, because several states in India are at high risk of fluoride contamination in drinking water. In this study, the groundwater from Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri districts was chosen for estimation of quality and fluoride level. The 20 samples were collecetd from two districts, water quality and fluoride were estimated using standard protocols. The results showed that in Dharmapur districts, including Dharmapuri and Morappur, the water quality was very poor and the water was in bad condition, and also the water quality and fluoride levels were above the acceptable limits of WHO and TWAD board norms. In Krishnagiri district, such as Hosur, and Larger domestic water samples were highly polluted. The Pochampalli and Hangar, Anjetti, and area ground waters were in poor condition, the rest of the area's water quality and fluoride level are moderate, and may increase in the upcoming years. The quality of water and fluoride levels have crossed the permissible limits of WHO and TWAD board standards in several sites of Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri districts. Frequent monitoring, more awareness programs, fluoride removal advanced eco‐friendly, and highly efficient technologies are needed to manage these pollutants issues.
