2.2.1.2 Groundwater

Оглавление

There are several factors affecting the fluoride presence like granite, gneissic rocks, and volcanic as well as mountainous area sediments of marine origin. The above‐mentioned rocks are rich in fluoride and are often found beneath the Earth's surface, ultimately leading to groundwater contamination. Alarming high fluoride ion concentrations together with various other toxic and infectious substances present in the groundwater of South and Southeastern Asia are of utmost concern (Ghosh et al. 2013).
