Objective: Analysis of fluorine content in the household and drinking water in the Tursunzade settlements, depending on the wind directions and the season.

Methods: Based on the wind directions, two zones were selected, including 12 settlements. The first (experimental) zone consists of 5 administrativeterritorial units (jamoats), including 9 village with west, north and northeast wind directions. Jamoat D. Rakhmonov, which includes 3 villages, was assigned to the control zone with the east wind direction and the least pollution of the atmospheric air by fluorides from the aluminum plant. Fluoride content was analyzed in 48 samples of household and drinking water using the SPADNS colorimetric method. The Laws of the Republic of Tajikistan, Resolutions of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, National Programs, and statistical materials were applied.

Conclusion: The highest amount of fluorine compounds in the water was found in the experimental zone (Navobod jamoat) with a west wind direction, which is directly related to the operation of the aluminum smelter.

Keywords: Fluorine, fluorides, concentration, water, aluminum production, wind direction.
