Since Lerma-Cutzamala and Acuífero del Valle de México Water SupplySystems distribute water to the México Citys Metropolitan Area (MCMA) we haveanalyzed their water fluoride concentration using 44 different sampling wells from thefour geographical zones of the MCMA during 2002. The water sampling was monthlymade during one year. All collected data showed a mean fluoride concentration of 0.70± 0.20 mg/L. Our results showed minor variability of fluoride concentrations in the wateravailable in México City. The fluoride content of the different analyzed zones showedstatistical differences. Although Mexican Health authorities have defined that fluorideconcentration in water should be from 0.70 to 1.50 mg/L, cases of dental fluorosis havebeen reported in México City (Juárez-López et al. 2003). It is important to have a reliableevaluation of fluoride concentration in México Citys natural water supplies prior toimplementing any caries-prevention program and to avoid novel cases of dental fluorosis. 2005 artículo científico 0188-4999 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37021102 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=370 Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Internacional de Contaminación Ambiental (México) Num.1 Vol.21 |
