CONCLUSION
An integrated approach is sought to prevent the spread of fluorosis and other
allied ailments by creating health awareness, providing better sanitary conditions
and good hygiene, making people take part in activities related to the problem on
hand and to evolving ways and means for improving living conditions. What can
not be cured/eradicated can be contained and prevented by an integrated approach
in the wake of various schemes and plans contemplated to call a halt to the spread
of fluorosis.
KEYWORDS
