“…Hence, it is mandatory to add the improvement of fresh water sources together with conservation through effective monitoring as a basic component in the water plan of any developed or developing nation. The evaluation of human health risk related with high fluoride concentration of groundwater in Salem district Tamilnadu, India, and observed that intake of elevated fluoride contaminated water is the significant reason for increasing human health issues (Adimalla et al, 2019c, Deshpande et al, 2019, Shankar et al,2011c Narsimha et al,2018 investigated the spatial and monsoon variation of fluoride contamination in groundwater in Southern part of India and stated that continuous consumption of high fluoride water is the main explanation behind collapse of human health (Ahada et al, 2017). Excess concentration of fluoride in groundwater is the principle issue that influences the human health in southern part of Tamilnadu India.…”

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the groundwater quality for domestic, agriculture use and to describe fluoride contamination in groundwater and their impacts on human health. 67 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for major ions. Water Quality Index (WQI), Piper diagram and Gibbs diagrams were calculated to measure the suitability of groundwater for drinking purpose. The hazards index value was calculated to estimate the noncarcinogenic risk to adult (male, female) and children suggested by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The irrigation indices were calculated to evaluate the quality of water for irrigation purpose. Statistical methods such as principal component and hierarchical cluster analysis were used to analyses the interrelationship of data. Hydrochemistry of the samples shows, the major ions in the order of Ca 2+ >Mg 2+ >Na + and Cl->SO4in the study area. WQI value of groundwater, 74.62% of sample locations are good and 25.38 % of sample locations need primary treatment for drinking purpose. The results of the hazards index show that 65.67% of the sample locations exceeds the tolerable limit for non-carcinogenic risk (greater than one) for children higher than the risk level for Male and female. Statistical report of PCA and HCA reveals that Ca-Na-HCO3-F has positive loading and TDS-EC has negative loading. The study results show that rock-water interaction and anthropogenic activities are the major factors that influence the quality of groundwater. The continuous intake of excess concentration fluoride causes bone diseases and teeth problems.

Groundwater is a vital and reliable source of water in all climates worldwide. In this work, a total of 26 groundwater samples were collected from the Gurugram Block of Gurugram District (a cosmopolitan city situtated proximately to capital of India) analyzed for electrical conductivity, pH, hardness, dissolved solids (TDS), Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl- and alkalinity as HCO3 −, CO3 2−. Based on the analytical results, the sodium adsorption ratio, sodium percentage, residual sodium carbonate, chloro-alkaline index, base exchange index, meteoric genesis index, permeability index), magnesium hazard and Kelly index were calculated. The most abundant cations were Na+ and Ca2+, which accounted for 43% and 36% of total cations, respectively. Based on median value, the cations are in the following order: Na+ > Ca2+ > Mg2+ > K+. There are no dangers in any of the 22 villages (85%). They have fluoride levels which are less than the maximum desirable limit of 1.0 mg/L established by IS: 10500, 2012. There were 15 villages (58%) with nitrate concentrations less than the limit (45 mg/L) and 11 villages (42%) with nitrate concentrations greater than the limit. The conductivity of groundwater samples was dominated by the ions EC-TDS (r = 1.0), EC-Na (r = 0.93) and EC-HCO3 (r = 0.84). The natural origin of the ions was revealed by the Na-Cl correlation coefficient (r = 0.82). TDS and Na correlated positively (r = 0.93). Wilcox classified that 4% of the ground water samples as excellent to good, 19% as good to permissible, more than 19% as doubtful to unsuitable and 58% as unsuitable for irrigation. According to the US salinity diagram,% of the samples fall into the C3–S1 water class, indicating water with a high salinity hazard and a low sodium hazard.
