+Fluorosis in INDIA

In India, the most common cause of fluorosis is fluoride-laden water derived from deep bore wells.

Over half of ground water sources in India have fluoride above recommended levels.

+Stunning Fallout

"Over 15,00,000 people are affected by Excess Fluoride in drinking water in over 1700 villages in the Districts of Nalgonda & Prakasam in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India.

Over 25,000 people every year are completely disabled and crippled by this disease".

+Solution

Reverse Osmosis Plants can be a simple and an effective solution for Fluorosis.

Apart from effectively rooting out the Fluorosis problem, RO plants can work towards removal of over 150 water borne microbes which can lead to many other diseases

+Solution

The objectives of this plant are : Remove Fluoride Remove the pathogenic organisms

Remove color and turbidity Remove unpleasant and objectionable taste and odor

Remove dissolved gases Remove suspended, colloidal and dissolved substances of both organic and inorganic origin

Reduce corrosive and tuberculation properties of water which affect the pipes

Make water fit for human consumption
