Spatial distribution and potential health risk of fluoride in drinking groundwater sources of Huaibei, Anhui Province

Abstract Fluoride enrichment in drinking groundwater at Huaibei leads to potential health risk to the residents. A total of 49 groundwater samples from groundwater sources were collected to evaluate the potential health risk of fluoride ingestion through drinking water for children and adults in Hua...
