The global status of fluoride pollution is conceptually presented in this book. Most of the recent scientific studies undertaken the world over are carefully summarized and tabulated so as to generate a global database on the status of fluoride pollution. Further, the health issues and associated human stress effects are scientifically discussed. The conventional approaches used for defluoridation in the fluoride endemic areas are discussed in detail, highlighting their limitations. A comparative evaluation of the technologies used for defluoridation has been presented as well.

Reviews for Fluoride in Drinking Water: Status, Issues, and Solutions

"""This book recorded the outstanding feat of a chemist who in the 1930s managed to measure a few ppm of fluoride in water; in the days before ion selective electrodes and other modern means, this was a magnificent achievement. Each chapter concludes with a comprehensive list of up-to-date references and a summary of the main points and conclusions; a useful practice which might well be followed by other authors."" —Chromatographia 2016"
