摘要：In the era of industrial advancement, fluoride is mainly contributed through runoff and leaching of phosphatefertilizers in agricultural land and liquid waste from industrial sources. Persistent use of fluoride contaminatedcoal in the thermal power plants and aluminium smelter plant can also heavily contribute fluoride in thegroundwater. Since there are no major studies in the recent past, the present study was carried out tounderstand the groundwater quality in the investigated area. Groundwater samples were collected from 25different locations around aluminium smelter plant from wells, shallow hand pump and deep hand pumpduring the month of June to September 2008 in Renukut district Sonbhadra for determining various parameters(pH, EC, Cl - , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ ,Na + , CO 3 2- , HCO 3 - , Total Dissolved Solids, fluoride). The fluoride content ingroundwater of Renukut ranged from 1.23 to 2.79 mg/L with average of 1.82 mg/L. 95% of the groundwatersamples in the study area had crossed the permissible limit of fluoride in drinking water i.e., 1.5mg/L. Thefluoride contamination to the groundwater during the post-monsoon season is mainly due to the seepage,moving and percolation of fluoride contaminated water nearby aluminium smelter plant and dissolution offluoride bearing mineral under alkaline condition is the major source of fluoride in groundwater.
