Résumé

Le but de notre travail a été de doser les Fluorures (F-) dans les eaux de puits consommées comme eau potable dans certaines zones rurales au Maroc. Tous les prélèvements ont été faits entre avril et octobre 2011. Les mesures ont été réalisées par une électrode spécifique à l'ion F-. Trente puits répartis de façon à couvrir la majorité du pays et choisis localement en fonction du nombre d'habitant qui consomment cette eau. La valeur moyenne de F- était 1,84 ± 1,6 mg/L avec des extrêmes entre 0,42 et 8,95 mg/l. Les concentrations dans les régions phosphatières ont été plus élevées comparées à d(autres régions. Plus de la moitié des échantillons dépassaient la norme en vigueur. Notre étude a montré que certaines régions marocaines ont des eaux naturelles riches en F- ce qui expose la population qui les consomme à un risque élevé de la fluorose.

Abstract
Fluoride content in well water in rural areas in Morocco

The aim of our study was to determine fluorides (F-) content in the well water consumed as drinking water by some Moroccan populations in rural areas. All samples were collected between April and October 2011. Measurements were performed by an ion selective electrode. Thirty wells spread to cover most of the country and locally chosen based on the number of inhabitants who consume its water. All wells were in rural areas. The mean (±SD) of F- was 1.84 ± 1.6 mg/L with a range from 0.42 to 8.95 mg/L Concentrations of F- in phosphate regions were higher than those found in other regions. More than half of the samples exceeded the current standard. Our study showed that water of some Moroccan regions is naturally rich in F-exposing people who consume it at high risk of fluorosis.
