Data indicated that fluoride concentration in drinking water ranged from 0.25 to 1.72?mg?L-1 and average of fluoride concentration was 0.27?mg?L-1. The mean estimated daily intake (EDI) values for fluoride in different groups of infants, children, teenagers and adults were 0.0021, 0.0151, 0.0107 and 0.0086?mg/kg, respectively.
