Origin of Fluoride and Arsenic in the Main Ethiopian Rift Waters

Origin of Fluoride and Arsenic in the Main Ethiopian Rift Waters

In the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER) area, rural populations often use water that exceeds the World Health Organization thresholds for fluoride (F<sup>–</sup>) and arsenic (As), two elements that are hazardous for human health. In this study, twenty-nine water samples were collected from lak...
