The present study was carried out to understand the present status of groundwater quality in Kolakhurd village in Jagdishpur Block, Bhagalpur district and also to assess the possible causes for high concentration of fluoride in groundwater. Fluoride concentration over permissible limit (1.5mg/L) in drinking water lead to human health hazards such as dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis affecting people. The fluoride concentration in groundwater of this region ranged from 0.7 to 12.6 mg/L. The severity of the effects is more in the young and aged group people. Majority of the cases affected with fluoride in different sites were from dental and skeletal fluorosis.
