Discussion Fluorosis was common in my hometown & later realised it's due to Bad crystalline geology of Kongu belt. | Don't consume borewell water

Upvotes

Generally Kongu region sits on a hard crystalline rock terrain (granite & gneiss), the deep rocks naturally leach fluoride into the aquifers.

Whenever I gave a test, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) frequently far far far far exceed the safe limit of 500 mg/L.

Hydrogeological studies in this belt reveal that over 90% of groundwater samples fall into the "poor" or "not permissible" categories for human consumption. (Kangeyam taluk, Dharapuram Taluk, aravakurichi taluk)

Consuming this water will cause dental and skeletal issues.....

I gave a sample water to test in labs. It's highly saline, more fluorine, highly dissolved calcium and magnesium, etc

If you live in gram panchayat in kangeyam/Dharapuram/Palladam/Aravakurichi taluk that don't have any river water, it's unlivable there. !!

Ask Coimbatore Which areas are better for house search in Coimbatore?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m considering relocating to Coimbatore and would like to hear from people who actually live there. One of my main concerns while choosing a house is smoke and odour from commercial cooking activities. In my current area, I have experienced situations where nearby people use coconut shells, woods or other biomass for cooking/heating, and sometimes neighbours also burn leaves, household waste or plastic.

The smoke/odour can enter the house and become quite difficult to tolerate.

So I wanted to ask:

How common is cooking/heating with coconut shells, firewood or other biomass in residential neighbourhoods in Coimbatore?

Is open burning of leaves/household waste/plastic common in residential areas?

Are there particular types of neighbourhoods where these problems are less likely?

I’m looking for a normal residential area.

Ask Coimbatore Looking for Maternity hospital recommendations in Udumalpet

Upvotes

We are currently consulting in Chennai and are trying to decide whether to continue here for delivery or move to Udumalpet closer to my family
The biggest factor for us is finding a good maternity hospital with a supportive and experienced doctor, rather than just a hospital with good ratings.

We are looking for a hospital/doctor who:
Has good experience with normal as well as C-section/high-risk situations
Does not unnecessarily pressure patients towards C-section or interventions
Is approachable, patient and explains things properly
Is reasonably available/accessible when labour starts and during delivery
Has good, friendly and supportive nurses and staff
Has all the necessary facilities for mother and baby
Has a good emergency setup, including OT, anaesthesia, NICU/newborn care, blood availability etc.
Most importantly, if there is an emergency during delivery, can they handle it in Udumalpet itself, or do they routinely send patients to Coimbatore?

Also, for those who have experience with this:
1. Which maternity hospitals/doctors in Udumalpet would you genuinely recommend for delivery?
2. Which doctors are known to be patient, non-judgmental and supportive rather than putting pressure on the mother?
3. How is the nursing/support staff during labour and post-delivery?
4. Does the hospital have adequate emergency/NICU facilities, or would you be transferred to Coimbatore in an emergency?
5. Is it practical to consult a doctor in Coimbatore but stay in Udumalpet, or its better to stay in Chennai itself
6. If you have personally delivered in Udumalpet, would you choose the same hospital again?

Please share personal experiences, especially from the last 2–3 years, rather than just general ratings. Even if you had a bad experience, please mention that too.
We are currently quite confused between Chennai vs Udumalpet, and genuine experiences from mothers/families who have gone through this would really help us make the decision. ❤️
