Summary:
JAIPUR: Indian Institute of Technology-Jodhpur ( IIT-J ) has devised a formula to remove fluoride from water through locally available resources. “The Rajasthani clay is rich in silica and alumina added with advised formula deters 90% of fluoride from the water,” said Sharma. “The filters could be made by traditional potters and can be used as traditional “Matkas” where filtered water will be drinkable. It can be beneficial for people in the several regions in the state.The ideal way suggested by Sharma is removing the fluoride through the earthen pots in households.
