ABSTRACT
Bioaccumulation of fluoride is resulting from geogenic activities and by anthropogenic actions has become a serious environmental problem. Different parts of the world are facing sensitive issues of fluoride, especially in ground water. The present fluoride contamination scenario and its array of remediation techniques targeting the decontamination of environmental hazards. The use of phytoremediation of fluoride contamination is gaining the scientific attention for sustainable environmental bioremediation. The present review work explains the different aspects of fluoride contamination, bioaccumulation, and bioremediation with implications for effective decontamination of this heavy metal.
