Fluoride Pollution and its Removal Techniques

Fluoride is a chemical element that has shown to cause significant effects on human health and plant body. Fluoride has been known to be found most frequently in groundwater at higher concentrations, depending on the nature of rocks and natural -carrying minerals at certain depths. This paper basically discusses how and what manner fluoride pollute the air, underground water and soil and subsequently which species of fluoride are responsible for pollution in animal and plants and finally some traditional techniques (Acivated alumina. Reverse osmosis. Ion exchange and Electro dialysis reversal etc.) for fluoride removal from drinking water.
