Toxicological Risk from Fluoride Exposure of a Population in Selected Areas of West Bengal , India

This study was carried out to assess toxicological risk from the fluoride (F) exposure due to ingestion of drinking and vegetables/cereal crops such as mustard, rice and wheat, grown in potentially fluoridated area, of different age groups in Birbhum district, West Bengal, India. Among vegetables, maximum F concentration was found in spinach whereas in cereal crops, wheat accumulated more F than rice. With respect to both crops and vegetables the cumulative EDI values in children of 3–14 years are found to be higher as compared to the other age groups in both control and treated areas. Hazard risk assessment shows that adults are more susceptible to risk followed by children of 3 – 14 and 15 – 18 years. But in reference to crops/vegetables it is found that children of 3 – 14 years of age group are at a risk of developing fluorosis.
