    Evaluación de la efectividad del carbón de hueso de animales bovinos (Bos taurus) en la disminución de la concentración de Flúor en el agua potable de consumo humano del Cantón San Pedro de Pelileo

    The excess of fluoride in drinking water for human consumption that is distributed in some sectors of the San Pedro de Pelileo Canton from the Jun Jun watershed, is the main cause of the appearance of dental fluorosis in those who consume it; Dental fluorosis is an abnormality that affects the enamel of the teeth, causing them to yellow or wear out; In the worst case, partial or total loss of teeth can occur. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of bone charcoal of B. taurus in reducing the concentration of fluorides, the temperature and time of bone carbonization is essential to obtain adequate hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate particles, hydroxyapatites and calcium carbonate are responsible for trapping fluoride ions; with a concentration of 5g per liter of bone charcoal, it was possible to reduce the concentration from 1.98 mg per liter to an average value of 0.742 mg per liter in the evaluation of jug tests without altering the water quality. The design of a bio-filter for domestic use can be used as an alternative to reduce contact with fluorine ions present in water; The bio-filter can be a tool used to improve the quality of dental life in children, young people, young women and adults.
