Abstract
Detailed investigations have been carried out on the incidence of fluoride in water sources in Medchal Block, in the North Eastern part of Ranga Reddy District, Andhara Pradesh India adjacent to a severe endemic area of fluorosis, the Nalgonda District. Results indicate high concentration of fluorides in groundwater ranging from 0.3 to 6 mg 1 −1 in this area which increase with alkalinity and decrease with total hardness. The availability of weathered fluoride-bearing rocks is the apparent contributing factor influencing the fluoride content in water.
