Abstract

Industrialization and change in life style have incorporated lot of unwanted chemicals, which shows toxicity and annihilate the normal functioning of biological molecules. Fluoride is one of them naturally occurring element and its contamination in ground water is the biggest problem for the world. The fluoride contaminated ground water is very harmful and shows adverse effects on not only the calcarious tissue (skeletal and dental fluorisis) but also on almost all soft tissue including liver, brain, kidney, reproductive organs, endocrine glands etc. Thus it also causes fluorios’s fatigue, problem of back bone, neck and limbs, which leads to frangibility and deformity. Day by day increasing level of this chemical in the food chain has increased the need to realize its noxious effects.
