Project Name : Effects of Fluorides
Theme Name : Health
This project highlights the topic of fluorosis, which is a deadly disease. Toothpastes and water are normally fluoridated to reduce dental cavities. But these fluorides in high quantities can cause fluorosis, a fatal disease with no cure.
Our project aims to spread awareness by mapping possible affected areas. In our project we have further modified the Nalgonda Technique (a defluoridating technique) to ensure better efficiency.
A study of effects of fluorides on plants was conducted. We then made fluoride-free toothpaste. A unique aspect of our project is the Fluoride mapping Software which is user friendly and adapts sensors installed within it.
