Smt. S.C.Kalamath, Smt, P.H. Hugar and M.S.Yadawe S.B. Arts and KCP Science College Bijapur 586103,Karnataka, India Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: June 03, 2015 / Accepted : June 11, 2015 ⓒ Science Research Library Abstract : Secondary data is taken from the investigation which was undertaken in 10 villages (28 samples ) of Basavana Bagewadi Taluka and 11 villages (38 samples ) of Muddebihal Taluka of Bijapur district to assess fluoride in water and also its clinical symptoms like dental skletal and diseases. Fluoride content varies from 0.4 – 6.4 mg/L in Basavana Bagawadi taluka and 1.10- 7.10 mg/ L in Muddebihal taluka. However 12 samples are with in the range while 16 samples are above the permissible limit at Basavana Bagewadi taluka , whereas in Muddebihal taluka all the values are above of WHO respectively. Standardized effective rates of dental and skletal fluorosis. Joint Pains and gastro intestinal discomfort at Basavana Bagewadi is less than that of Muddeibhal taluka . According to large sample test the proportion people affected due to fluoride are more in Muddebihal taluka than Basavana Bagewadi Taluka. Key words: Fluoride , Clinical Symptom, Dental Skeletal fluorosis, standardized effective rates, large sample test, correlation, proportion. Introduction: Fluoride is key aspect of water quality in rural water supply system, which potentially affects the sustainability of water if its exceeds its prescribed limit . Fluorosis is an endemic disease resulting from excess in take of fluoride either through drinking water, food or dentifrices at concentration of 6.200 ppm or above1. At first in 1937, the excessive fluoride in ground water reported in India in State of A.P. Approximately 62 million people including 6 million children suffering from Fluorosis because of consumption of water with high fluoride concentration (Sushila 1999). 17 states in India have been identified as endemic for fluorosis 1 .Gulbarga of Karnataka was found to be a endomic area .The amount of flouride occuring naturaly in ground water is governed by climate, composition of host rock , and hydrogeology . The major source of fluoride in ground water are due to fluoride having rocks such as fluorospar, Cryolute, Flarapatile and hydroxylapatile fluorosis. Fluorosis of teeth has been reported to affect dental enamel, chronic fluorine intoxication through drinking water contained above 10 ppm of fluorine results in pathological changes of bone leading to skeletal fluorosis . water is the medimum of intake of humans Fluoride can rapidly cross cell membrane and distributed in skletal and cardic muscles ,liver ,skin and erithrocytes .2 An attempt has been made statistically to correlate the concentration of Fluoride with measured parameters and conditions affecting the ground water quality and statistically comparative study of B.Bagewadi and Muddebihal Taluka of Bijapur district has been made. Experimental : For present study 28 samples of B.Bagewadi Taluka and 38 samples of Muddebihal Taluka of Bijapur District collected .Dental, skeletal , joint and pains and gastrointestinal diseases of both sexes between ages 8- 50 years are noted and also it is noted that there are no major surface water in the study area . However main source of water in selected area are open wells hand pumps and bore wells . Physicochemical characteristics of water quality in selected villages B.Bagewadi Taluka.
