Fluoride and nitrate in groundwater: health risks and monitoring in the Vea catchment, Ghana
Abstract The Vea catchment, especially in the Bongo area, is among the first areas in Ghana where high fluoride levels in groundwater were reported leading to extensive hydrochemistry studies within the catchment. Although high fluoride (F−) levels in groundwater are known to be one of the causes of...
