Abstract

Soil samples from were collected for analysis from the dumping areas of Sanu mines, district Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Inhabitants, cattle and some crop species which are sensitive to fluoride toxicity of this tehsil suffer from fluorosis. Soil samples were collectedrandomly from given dumping areas. Total 15 samples (randomly) were analysed. Selected ion meter was used for estimation of fluoride. Fluoride ion concentration in soil samples varied from 1.0ppm to 8.23ppm.
