According to WHO standards, what is the maximum permissible limit of fluoride concentration in drinking water to prevent fluorosis?
A0.5 mg/L
B1.5 mg/L
C3.0 mg/L
D5.0 mg/L
Explanation
Fluoride concentration in drinking water should ideally be around 1.0 mg/L to prevent dental caries. The upper permissible limit set by WHO is 1.5 mg/L; exceeding this leads to dental and skeletal fluorosis.
