Dataset of fluoride concentration and health risk assessment in drinking water in the Saveh City of Markazi Province, Iran.

ABSTRACT: This study aims at analyzing fluoride levels in water sources and drinking water in Saveh City, with a focus on health risks assessment. Excessive fluoride concentrations (above 2 to 4 mg/L) can lead to skeletal issues, dental fluorosis, and brain damage, while low concentrations (below 0.7-1.5 mg/L depending on temperature) can harm tooth health and strength. For drinking water consumptions, centralized and decentralized desalination units were utilized from, Saveh's brackish water. In this research study a total of 63 samples were collected randomly from underground and surface water sources, distribution networks, and desalination units during both Winter and Summer seasons. Fluoride analysis was conducted using the spectrophotometric method with the DR6000 device and SPADNS reagent. Th
