New dental fluorosis cases emerge in Nalgonda

Deccan Chronicle  

Nalgonda: Marriguda mandal in Nalgonda district, long recognised as a fluoride hotspot, has identified new instances of dental fluorosis among children, signalling persistent water contamination issues. The detection of new fluorosis cases has been a shock, especially since consumption of rice and vegetables irrigated with fluoride-contaminated groundwater can worsen the disease. Medical teams have examined 6,932 people, identifying 53 dental fluorosis cases in Shivannagudem, 26 in Kondur, six in Marriguda, 18 in Indurthi, and 25 in Narsimhulaguden. Deputy district medical and health officer Dr Kalyana Chakravarthi noted that new cases emerged within three days of the survey’s start, prompting comprehensive family checkups in the mandal.
