Abstract: In this communication the author has carried out the estimation and impact of fluoride Content which is causing Soil pollution. Eight locations including Dadri, Kasana, Dankaur, Chiti and others have been taken for the study. The pH and organic content of the Soil in the region, ranges from 4.9-5.9 and 2.4 to 9.2% respectively. The concentration of fluoride ion ranges from 78.7 +2.5 to 202.2 + 1.2 in (mg/Kg dry wt). It is observed that as soils become more acidic, fluoride ion can be released in to solution and form complexes with aluminium. As soils become more alkaline negative charge increases on Soil surfaces, desorbs fluoride ions and could increase the fluoride ion concentration in solution. The impact on health may be serious, causing there by decolouration of teath, severe pain and stifness in bones.
