Figure 7.15 Fluorosis-affected provinces, 2013

10/01/2015

Almost all provinces are affected by high levels of fluoride in groundwater. Many central and southwestern provinces are also affected by high levels of fluoride in coal. Eleven central and southern provinces have both types of fluorosis81. Again, poorer families are disproportionately affected by fluoride poisoning, as alternative safe water sources and improved stoves are often out of their reach.
