nitrogen-dioxide and Fluorosis--Dental

Studies have shown that excessive intake of fluoride into human body from drinking water may cause fluorosis adversely affects teeth and bones. Fluoride in water is mostly of geological origin and the amounts depend highly on many factors such as availability and solubility of fluoride minerals as well as hydrogeological and geochemical conditions. Chemical methods usually accomplish fluoride analysis in drinking water. The chemical methods are expensive, labor-intensive and time-consuming in general although accurate and reliable results are obtained. An alternative cost-effective approach based on machine learning (ML) technique is investigated in this study. Furthermore, most effective input parameters are selected via proposed Simulated Annealing (SA) search scheme. Selected subset (SAR, K
