RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The mean F concentration in groundwater, F exposure dose, mean F level in the serum and urine of study subjects are shown in Table 1. For a given concentration of F in groundwater, the exposure dose for children was more than that of adults. Although the study subjects of control area consumed water with F < 1 mg/L, the mean F concentration in serum and urine of controls exceeded the normal upper limit of 0.02 mg/L and 0.1 mg/L respectively (Susheela et al 2005).
