Groundwater samples collected either from the bore-wells (forms a part of municipal water supply) or from the hand pumps (direct consumption) were analysed for fluoride in Hisar city, India. The results indicate considerable variations among the analysed groundwater samples and the concentration of fluoride ranged from 0.03--16.6 mg/l. In most of the groundwater samples the concentration of fluoride was found to be moderately higher, when compared to the WHO standard for drinking water, which may lead to associated health risks in urban population, if the groundwater is being used without proper treatment. Furthermore, it is suggested that the sources of municipal water supply must be established in a region where an adequate level of fluoride was observed.
在印度希萨尔市,对从钻孔井(构成城市供水的一部分)或手压泵(直接用于饮用)采集的地下水样本进行了氟化物分析。结果表明,所分析的地下水样本之间存在显著差异,氟化物浓度范围为0.03 - 16.6毫克/升。与世界卫生组织的饮用水标准相比,大多数地下水样本中的氟化物浓度被发现略高,如果未经适当处理就使用地下水,可能会给城市人口带来相关健康风险。此外,建议在观察到氟化物含量充足的地区确定城市供水水源。
