摘要: A study was undertaken to estimate fluoride content in the groundwater certain parts of rural Eritrea. North-East Africa, along River Anseba. Standard procedure adopted for detection. Results indicate elevated concentration groundwater. The highest found be 3.73 mg L(-1), well above safety level consumption. Geological basis high has been established; it is presumed pegmatite intrusion hosted by a granitic batholith. Extensive dental fluorosis observed population exposed drinking water content.
