The Impact of Drinking water on Human Health due to Contamination of Fluoride –A case Study of Bhagalpur Municipal Corporation Area, Bhagalpur, Bihar

Biology

Groundwater degradation occurs when its quality parameters are changed beyond their natural variations by the introduction or removal of certain substances (Ramesh, 2001; Todd, 2001). About 80% OF The Disease in the world are due to the poor quality of drinking water and the Fluoride contamination of drinking water is responsible for65% of endemic fluorosis around the globe.[Felsenfeld and Robert 1991] India is fast moving towards a crisis of ground water overuse and contamination (Himansu et al., 2014). The occurrence of F- in groundwater has drawn worldwide attention because it has considerable impact on human health. A variety of geochemical studies have been carried out on various aspects of F- in groundwater particularly on the relationship between F- concentration and water-rock interaction in aquifers in different geological settings (Gaciri and Davies, 1993; Ghosh and Bandyopadhyay, 1980; Handa, 1983; Nordstrom and Jenne, 1977; Saxena and Ahmed, 2003). ). All the living creatures depend upon water in one way or the other but there are instances that civilizations have disappeared due to shortage of fresh water or due to water borne diseases (Shanthi et al. 2014; Kumar et al. 2016). Problems with water quality often serve as problems with water availability
