Abstract In this article, we measured the levels of fluoride in groundwater. The samples were taken from groundwater in Bushehr’s province, Iran. After the collection of samples, the concentration levels of fluoride were determined by the standard SPADNS method using spectrometer. The mean concentration levels of fluoride in water of all stations were higher than […]

Health risk assessment to fluoride in drinking water of rural residents living in the Poldasht city, Northwest of Iran.
Highlights The 57% of samples analyzed exceeded the limit set for fluoride in drinking water. The highest fluoride exposure for different regions was observed in children and teenager’s groups. Most of the rural residents suffered from fluoride contaminated drinking water. The HQ value was > 1 for all groups of residents in Agh otlogh and […]
Geochemical sources, hydrogeochemical behavior, and health risk assessment of fluoride in an endemic fluorosis area, central Iran.
Highlights Geochemical cycle of fluoride is assessed in the study area. Na-Cl- and Na-SO4-type waters are contaminated with F. Soil and shale rocks are the main sources of fluoride. People are exposed to high levels of fluoride intake through drinking water. Abstract The present study is the first attempt to put forward the possible source(s) […]
Data on fluoride concentration levels in cold and warm season in rural area of Shout (West Azerbaijan, Iran).
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the concentration of fluoride in drinking water, the distribution system, in 22 villages in Shout (A city in West Azerbaijan province). Sampling of springs and underground water was carried out in two warm and cold seasons. Fluoride concentration were determined through spectrophotometer with a model, DR/5000.The […]
Calculating fluoride concentrations data using ambient temperatures in drinking water distribution networks in select provinces of Iran.
Abstract Fluoride concentrations in drinking water were analyzed relative to air temperature data collected in different provinces of Iran. Determining suitable concentrations of fluoride in drinking water is crucial for communities because of the health effects of fluoride on humans. This study analyzed fluoride concentrations in drinking water from selected Iranian provinces. The data were […]
Fluoride concentration level in rural area in Poldasht city and daily fluoride intake based on drinking water consumption with temperature.
Long-term exposure to high level of fluoride can caused several adverse effects on human health including dental and skeletal fluorosis. We investigated all the drinking water source located in rural areas of Poldasht city, west Azerbaijan Province, North West Iran between 2014 and 2015. Fluoride concentration of water samples was measured by SPADNS method. We […]
Missing ‘political will’ in UK obstacle to yellow cake deal
TEHRAN – Iran said on Monday London’s lack of “political will” has thwarted a deal with Kazakhstan on import of 950 tons of yellow cake, an acquisition that would not violate the landmark 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. “There is no specific discord and it seems that the political will of England is preventing […]
Iran to import 950 tons of yellow cake, England getting in way
“We have sent a request for the import of 950 tons of yellow cake from Kazakhstan,” ISNA news agency quoted Ali Akbar Salehi as saying on Saturday. Yellow cake imports follow the 2015 nuclear deal that removed economic sanctions against Iran after it agreed to roll back its nuclear program. Imported yellow material will be […]
Iran Plans to Inject UF6 Gas Into New Centrifuge Machine in Near Future
Iran is preparing to inject uranium hexafluoride (UF6) into a brand new Iran-made centrifuge machine, known as IR8, in the near future, Deputy Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Asghar Zarean said. MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Zarean emphasized that this development will increase Iran’s capability to enrich uranium, and remind world powers of how the nation’s […]
Data on fluoride concentration level in villages of Asara (Alborz, Iran) and daily fluoride intake based on drinking water consumption.
In the present data article, fluoride concentration levels of drinking water (with spring or groundwater sources) in 10 villages of Asara area located in Alborz province were determined by the standard SPADNS method using a spectrophotometer (DR/2000 Spectrophotometer, USA). Daily fluoride intakes were also calculated based on daily drinking water consumption. The fluoride content were […]
