Abstract:
Habitual consumption of large volume of poor quality tea for 4/5 times is very common among the rural population of Assam. This region lies within the geographical fluoride belt and fluoride occurs as minor constituent of ground water in all categories of hydro-geological settings. Tea plants absorb higher amount of fluoride from soil and therefore chronic toxic levels of fluoride consumption from tea beverages are possible. A study was carried out to find out the relationship between prevalence of fluorosis among the populations of tea garden belt villages of Assam and fluoride ion concentration in drinking water as well as in tea beverages. Calcium tablets and calcium rich food (banana) was supplied to five severely affected fluorotic patients for one month daily in the morning. Fluoride ion in urine (morning) was estimated before and after treatment with calcium foods. Pre-treatment urine fluoride content was recorded higher for adults than children and the controlled samples. Whereas, post-treatment was found higher in child patient than the adults. High positive correlation (p< 0.001) was found between fluoride concentration in water and urine, and tea drinks and urine. Study revealed that continuous intake of calcium rich food can help in minimum incorporation of fluoride.
