| Abstract |
Mylaudy, a village near Kanyakumari, Tamilnadu, is one of the places where drinking water is found to contain fluoride above the permissible limit. Fluorosis has been prevalent in Mission Vilai, a part of Mylaudy village for about fifteen years. Hence, it was decided to analyse the fluoride ion concentration in drinking water obtained from this place. Eleven water samples were collected and analysed for different physico-chemical parameters. A door-to-door survey was also conducted in the form of questionnaire, to determine the severity of the disease.
