dc.description.abstractFluoride has a pivotal importance in dental health and the main source of fluoride intake by humans is known as drinking water. Fluoride intake that is excessive or insufficient may have negative impacts on infants and children, including dental caries and fluorosis. The Ipsala District is located in the south-west part of Edirne City, which is a major agricultural land in Turkiye's Thrace Region. The aim of the present research was to determine the fluoride accumulations in drinking water and to assess and compare the non-carcinogenic health risks of fluoride via daily human intake in drinking water of the Ipsala District and connected villages. A total of 23 drinking water samples were collected during the wet season of 2021. The fluoride levels of villages were measured by using a spectrophotometric method, and estimated daily intake (EDI) and hazard quotient (HQ) of fluoride were calculated for all the investigated locations separately. Fluoride concentrations in Ipsala District drinking water ranged from 0.02 to 0.192 ppm. The mean EDI data in infants, children, teenagers, and adults was recorded as 0.00076, 0.00538, 0.00380, and 0.00304 ppm, respectively. All the calculated HQ values in terms of all age groups were recorded as less than the critical limit of 1, with a mean of 0.01267 for infants, 0.08972 for children, 0.06333 for teenagers, and 0.05075 for adults, which means there is no non-carcinogenic health risk in terms of fluoride accumulations in drinking water. Children are more sensitive than all the age groups in terms of health risk associated with fluoride intake from the study region. The findings of this research will aid the respective authorities in developing better policies to safeguard children from fluoride exposure.en_US
