Water for human consumption is the main source of fluoride exposure. The concentration in water should not exceed 1 mg/L of fluoride since, at higher levels; it increases the risk of dental fluorosis, among other adverse effects. The fluoride content of 149 water samples from different aqueducts in Cauca (Colombia) has been determined by ion exchange chromatography with the aim of fluoride risk assessment. The rural area of the Municipality of Santander de Quilichao registered fluoride concentrations between 0.012 and 0.150 mg/L. The urban area of Santander de Quilichao recorded lower fluoride levels than the rural area (0.027-0.068 mg/L). The urban area of the Municipality of Cajibío registered fluoride levels of 0.082-0.186 mg/L. The highest levels of fluoride were found in Timbío (0.121-0.210 mg/L). The fluoride levels recorded in this study are not considered sufficient to trigger dental fluorosis. Likewise, optimal levels are not considered to protect the child population against dental caries. However, a monitoring plan of fluoride concentrations in water should be implemented to assure the quality and safe of the water.
供人类饮用的水是氟暴露的主要来源。水中氟化物浓度不应超过1毫克/升，因为浓度更高时，除了其他不良影响外，还会增加氟斑牙的风险。为了评估氟风险，通过离子交换色谱法测定了来自哥伦比亚考卡不同输水管道的149个水样中的氟化物含量。桑坦德德基利乔市农村地区的氟化物浓度在0.012至0.150毫克/升之间。桑坦德德基利乔市市区的氟化物水平低于农村地区（0.027 - 0.068毫克/升）。卡希比奥市市区的氟化物水平为0.082 - 0.186毫克/升。在廷比奥发现了最高的氟化物水平（0.121 - 0.210毫克/升）。本研究记录的氟化物水平不足以引发氟斑牙。同样，也未达到保护儿童群体预防龋齿的最佳水平。然而，应实施水氟化物浓度监测计划，以确保水质和用水安全。
