Fluoride in Groundwater: Probability of occurrence of excessive concentration on global scale

The aim of this project is to review available information about groundwater contaminated with fluoride and to display the probable occurrence of fluoride on continental maps. The approach used in this project combines the results of the literature study (fluoride analyses and geochemical knowledge) with spatial information on geology and climate. International Groundwater Resources Assessment Centre's special projects intend to collect, analyze and display information on specific groundwater issues relevant to development of groundwater resources on various scales.
