Abstract

This review paper studies balanced and unbalanced fluoride effects towards health and therapeutic methods. Excessively fluoridated water is harmful to the current residential society worldwide. In drinking water, fluoride is added mainly due to the activities of biotic and abiotic factors. World Health Organization has an upper limit of 1.5 mg/litre fluoride in drinking water for several countries such as India, China, Australia, Canada and the European Union. As we all know, India is a developing country with an incredible biodiversity and geographical region. So, India has set standards according to its circumstances, and different countries have set standards according to their circumstances. The presence of fluoride ions in drinking water causes several other issues like arthritis, fatigue, muscle damage, skeletal Fluorosis, dental Fluorosis, joint and chronic, etc. In extreme cases, it primarily damages essential organs such as kidneys, arteries, heart, liver, neuron system, and endocrine glands. Some prominent states of India have a wide range of fluoride in the groundwater, like – Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar etc. Here we are studying the occurrence, nature, and disease caused by excessive fluoride and the prevention of fluoride. Groundwater is a significant source of Fluorosis in rural areas. In this review paper, there is some method to improve this situation with some easy steps. Remediation technology is not readily achievable in India because of the lack of infrastructure in rural areas and some cities. Prevention and a nutritional diet are better options for this situation. Due to high cost and maintenance, remediation is not possible on a large scale in India and in many developing countries.
