1. The result shows that the calculated pooled concentration of fluoride was 2.1267 mg/L (1.650, 2.604) at 95% CI in groundwater of the study areas. 2. The climatic conditions and lithological composition are the key controlling factors for groundwater fluoride contamination. 3. Regarding fluorosis in selected regions, children (78%) are more vulnerable than the adults (23%) group.
