Distribution Characteristics, Genesis, and Health Risk Assessment of Fluoride in Groundwater of the Taigemiao Mining Area
accumulation. (4) The non-carcinogenic health risk assessment reveals that fluoride has unacceptable non-carcinogenic risks for children (mean HI 0.98, maximum HI 9.64), which are higher than those for adults (mean HI 0.50). This underscores children's greater vulnerability to fluoride exposure and indicates that the groundwater is unsuitable for their consumption.
