ABSTRACT
Fluoride has a special importance on especially dental health and high or low levels of fluoride in drinking water may cause dental problems. The Gelibolu Peninsula is located in the northwest part of the Anatolia has a great agricultural potential. There are 4 significant artificial ponds located in the Gelibolu Peninsula (GP) used for irrigation and drinking water supply. The aim of this research was to determine the fluoride accumulations in water of these artificial ponds and to assess the water quality in terms of dental health. Also, Cluster Analysis (CA) was applied to detected data in order to classify the stations in terms of fluoride contents. Water samples were taken from Fındıklı, Değirmendüzü, Tayfur and Uzunhızırlı Ponds during the dry season of 2022 and wet
season of 2023 and the fluoride levels of investigated ponds were measured by using spectrophotometric method. The fluoride accumulations in water of artificial ponds of GP were varied from 0.173 – 1.720 ppm. As a result of applied CA, 2 statistically significant clusters were formed named as "Containing relatively higher fluoride zone (C1)" and "Containing relatively lower fluoride zone (C2)".
