NON-CARCINOGENIC RISK ASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATER IN SOUTHERN PART OF SALEM DISTRICT IN TAMILNADU, INDIA
ABSTRACT The main objective of this study was to evaluate the groundwater quality for domestic, agriculture use and to describe fluoride contamination in groundwater and their impacts on human health. 67 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for major ions. Water Quality Index (WQI), Piper...
