Ghana boreholes showed a high dry-season fluoride risk for children

A study of 34 public boreholes in Ghana found a 69% modeled dry-season probability of fluoride-related health-risk thresholds being exceeded for children. The researchers recommend confirmatory testing and site-specific responses at high-risk boreholes, while noting that the screening approach needs testing with larger, year-round datasets.
