The Fluoride Detection Kit (FDK) is a user-friendly, cost-effective tool for identifying fluoride levels in groundwater, addressing the widespread issue of fluoride contamination in India. The kit enables quick and simple testing by adding a reagent to the water sample, with results visible through color change, which can be compared to a provided color chart. The FDK is designed for easy use by laypersons without the need for sophisticated instruments. It helps categorize water as safe, marginal, or unsafe for drinking based on fluoride levels, and can be used to roughly quantify fluoride content in contaminated water. This tool is essential for regions affected by fluoride contamination, aiding in the identification of safe water sources.
